Cool. I'm poking at getting a 1.7.6 SRPM set up for it. I am noticing an issue. The migration of the 'mod_dontdothat.so' to the "tools" directory is causing me some difficulty with building a clean RPM for it. After it got added, I was including it in the 'mod_dav_svn' package, with the option listed but commented out in /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_dav_svn.conf. This is compounded by most of the components in "tools" being optional scripts, not necessarily part of a standard deployment, and not installed by 'make install''. So Red Hat, and I when building RPM's, simply included all of "tools" as documents in /usr/shared/coc/subversion-[version]/tools. But with more binaries being added thee, and some of them being sensitive to their compilation environment such as mod_dontdothat.so, this is breaking down. So, I'd like to suggest two things: * Make mod_dontdothat.so installable from the Makefile. The easiest way to do it is to move it to from "tools" to "subversion", parallel to subverson/mod_dav_svn, and as a loadable httpd module, it requires special attention. * Make the other Subversion tools installable. It should be straightforward to make the other contents of the "tools" directory compiled and instlalled into the 'toolsdir', typically /usr/local/bin/svn-tools, defined in the Makefile.in. It's not currently used in subverson-1.7.x, but is used in the trunk for the "svnmucc" tools.
