Hello folks,

I'm currently working on adding Python 2.7 support to Ubuntu, and am in the
process of investigating build problems with various packages.  One such
package is Subversion, which appears to build just fine against Python 2.7 but
fails a handful of tests.  I can see from this message

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/120567/match=python+2.7

the same set of failing tests.  I'm also building/testing 1.6.12 (or
thereabouts).  Building against Python 2.6 has no problems.

I've looked at the tests but don't understand them well enough for any obvious
problems to jump out at me.  I was unable to find any open issues tracking
these failures.

Does anybody have any additional information?  Is anybody working on fixing
the failing Python 2.7 tests?  Is there an open bug on the issue?

I'd be happy to work with folks to put together a set of patches to fix the
Python 2.7 bindings.  I'm tempted to just disable the tests for now to get a
working package.

I am not on this mailing list so please do CC me or contact me directly
off-list.

Cheers,
-Barry
