I am on two different hosts with different SVN versions. Host1 is using svn client 1.6.18 and checks out all the files. Host2 is using svn client 1.8.8 and using NFS works on the same files as Host1. e.g. The actual files are shared across machines, not copies.
I cannot upgrade the files with svn upgrade, since the files must irk on host1. Can someone please confirm that svn 1.8.8 cannot work on the files that were checked out with the older version. host2$ svn info libs svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at 'xxx/libs' is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.8.8 (r1568071)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy. My expectation would be that the newer client would be able to work with the older files without having to upgrade them, just not supporting the newer features. Failing that, how do I install svn 1.6.8 on Fedora 2? I tried to install subversion-1.6.17-5.fc16.x86_64.rpm, and I tried building from rpm source but there are too many incompatible libraries. Thanks in advance, Marc
