Upgrading from 1.6.5 (Fedora) to 1.6.16 (built from source)

[Jim Garrison]

The last version available on the Fedora update site for my system (Fedora 10) 
is 1.6.5, and I need the fixes for Tree Conflict resolution that shipped in 
1.6.6 and later versions.

Is there anything special to upgrading other than building 1.6.16 from source, 
uninstalling the Fedora svn RPM and  hooking up Apache and the repository to 
the new version?

Links page from old subversion.tigris.org site?

[Jim Garrison]

There used to be a page at http://subversion.tigris.org/links.html containing 
links to various 3rd-party tools for subversion, including some web front ends. 
 This page doesn't seem to have made the transition to the ASF site.  The old 
(now non-existent) page is linked from a few places, including a StackOverflow 
answer.  Is 
the list of links still available?

svn mkdir --> Conflict - what can cause this?

[Jim Garrison]

We have an automatic (Hudson) build that runs every night.  It starts by making 
a tag directory into which it will then copy the current build root folder.  
Last night, the mkdir failed:

svn --username [obfuscated] --password [obfuscated] --no-auth-cache mkdir 
--parents http://svn/repos/troux/autobuild/trunk/20110926_233057 -m"create 
autobuild tag directory"

svn: Conflict at '/autobuild/trunk/20110926_233057'

The job was rerun this morning without making any changes and it had no problem 
with the mkdir.  I can guarantee that the directory didn't exist in the 
repository prior to the mkdir command.

The svn server is running on Linux (Fedora 14) and is at version 1.6.16
The client is on Linux (Fedora 14) and is at version 1.6.17

Ideas?
