The Subversion project is looking for testers of its 1.7.0-alpha1 release announced here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-announce/201106.mbox/%3CBANLkTi=hfhxwpygkp7xosl4j39tssd3...@mail.gmail.com%3E
If you run Subversion please consider testing this release and report any problems to the us...@subversion.apache.org mailing list or directly to me if you prefer (but not to any OpenBSD list, please). Attached is a port that compiles on -current and 4.9. If you have subversion 1.6 installed make sure to pkg_delete the existing subversion package before compiling the 1.7 port. I've put up packages I've already built: (4.9/i386) http://stsp.name/openbsd/ports/packages/4.9/i386/ (-current/amd64) http://stsp.name/openbsd/ports/packages/snapshots/amd64/ Because this version change requires bumping the version number of shared libraries, from the point of view of OpenBSD's ports system any ports that depend on Subversion will need to be recompiled. You may instead create symlinks that point existing executables to the new libs, as this is supposed to work per Subversion's compatiblity guidelines. This is not the final production release. Do *not* run this release on your production data. A good way of testing the server is to make copies of your repositories (e.g. with svnadmin hotcopy or svnsync), including revisions up to some time in the past, say, last week. Then upgrade those copies to 1.7 (svnadmin upgrade), set up a 1.7 server, and try perform whatever operations you performed last week. You can also test the 1.7 client against an existing 1.6.x server. This is unlikely to cause any server-side damage but if it does let me know.
