Re: Planning a SVN upgrade

We have about 50 repos. I'll be moving from an older Ubuntu 8 install to Centos 6 x64. My thought was I could upgrade the SVN installation in place, bringing the repo up to 1.8 and then dump those repos and bring them online in the new environment. We currently use Eclipse as our IDE and Jenkins as our CI tool with Nexus as the object repo. I was thinking to leave the upgrade of Eclipse client and svnkit to the indiviidual so they can decide what direction to take with their working copies et al. I do not foresee any changes I would need to make to Jenkins or Nexus. Has anyone made a jump this large before? Any comments about my upgrade plan? Thanks! Being a totally new server, may I suggest using svnsync instead of a dump/load cycle? It's very easy to set up, you can still use the old repositories while syncing and if you take care of using the same UUID on the new repository you might even be able to make the switch completely transparent to the clients. I did an upgrade about three years ago, I think from 1.4 to 1.6, and I used svnsync. It worked very well. I don't share others' concerns about not upgrading the repository (which will happen if you use svnsync). I don't see why now. Besides, using svnsync, you don't touch the old repositories at all so you still have the old format repos if you need them. Just my 2p

UTF-16 (or UCS-2) doesn't work in that context as it usually has a lot of '\0' bytes and a bytewise completely different eol marker. Bert
Crash during sync after automatic merges
Hello, When SVN 1.8.0 was released, I started using automatic merges for one of my branches. It worked fine. I updated to 1.8.1 and at some point I wanted to do a sync-merge again. Now SVN crashed. I'm using Tortoise-SVN so, I went to the console version from cygwin and tried the same command. It also crashed with console SVN. I downgraded to SVN 1.8.0 - still crashing. I now upgraded to 1.8.3 and still have the crash. Is there any known issue regarding automatic merges, that leads to a crash? See the content of the .stackdump file from console-svn below this mail. The issue is reproducible every time I start the sync: svn merge ^/trunk There is also the automatically uploaded dump from tortoise if that helps in any way: https://www.crash-server.com/DumpGroup.aspx?ClientID=tsvn&Login=Guest&DumpGroupID=88264 Regards, Ruben Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=6A234F2E eax= ebx=8046DE88 ecx=00289F9C edx= esi=0001 edi=804D61A2 ebp=0028A03C esp=00289FE0 program=C:\cygwin\bin\svn.exe, pid 9268, thread main cs=0023 ds=002B es=002B fs=0053 gs=002B ss=002B Stack trace: Frame Function Args 0028A03C 6A234F2E (, 000A, 804D5DD8, 80499338) End of stack trace
libsvn_ra_serf/util.c: undefined reference to serf_bucket_request_set_CL [1.8.1][1.8.3][WORKAROUND]
I am mailing this just to make the workaround known to other users.
When compiling subversion 1.8.1 or 1.8.3 from apache's source package,
"configure --with-serf=/usr/local/serf" is not enough to use a specific serf
version.
Not if another version was installed as debian packages.
Workaround:
Uninstall the debian packages, then do "make install" again.
Symptom:
"make install" fails with:
cd subversion/libsvn_ra_serf ;
[...] libtool: install: warning: relinking `libsvn_ra_serf-1.la'
[...] .libs/util.o: In function `setup_serf_req':

[...]/subversion-1.8.3/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:758: undefined

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libtool: install: error: relink `libsvn_ra_serf-1.la' with the above command
before installing it

("Fehler" is German for "Error")
Tested with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and the distribution's standart libserf1 and
libserf-dev packages.

RE: SVN commit line ending handling

Last time I did a commit of this file, I was using TortoiseSVN version 1.7.13 (or earlier) on a Windows system. The properties include svn:eol-style=native and svn:mime-type=text/xml (this latter is probably from autoprops). > The > problem in your case surely was because of inconsistent line > endings as well. It's possible. I did look at the file with a hex editor to try to fix things, but didn't see any inconsistent line endings. Of course, this does not mean there were none, just that I didn't see them. In the hex editor, the line endings were all encoded as 00 0d 00 0a. Given the "native" eol style, I think SVN might have been looking for 0d 0a without the padding. SVN might even have seen the 00 0d as one line ending and the 00 0a as the next. Since the file is auto-generated as part of an installation package, one would hope the auto-generation tool would make the endings consistent. However, hope is no substitute for reality.
