[jira] Updated: (ZOOKEEPER-110) Build script relies on svnant, which is not compatible with subversion 1.5 working copies

["Jakob Homan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-110?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jakob Homan updated ZOOKEEPER-110:
----------------------------------

    Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

I've modified the build.xml, replacing the previous svnant task with the same functionality using svntask (http://code.google.com/p/svntask/).  Svntask is apache-licensed, however, it relies on svnkit, which has an odd dual license (http://svnkit.com/licensing.html).  I'm not sure if this will create a licensing issue.  Not reflected in the patch is deleting the svnant directory in src/java/lib/ and adding a new directory, src/java/lib/svntask, that includes svnkit.jar and svntask.jar, obtained from the two sites above.  

Hope this is useful.

>             Project: Zookeeper
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: build
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
>         Environment: Subversion 1.5 command line, or subclipse version 1.4.x
>            Reporter: Jakob Homan

> The current build.xml ant script uses svnant to obtain the latest revision number from the repo, however svnant is not compatible with subversion 1.5 (http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html), and so the build fails with working copies checked out by this version.  The build fails with "this version of subversion is too old, please get a newer version..."  This will become more apparent as svn 1.5 trickles out; I'm using a brand new dev environment with both subclipse 1.4 and svn 1.5 client, so I got bit rather quickly.
> Those with svn 1.5 can get the code from the trunk, but cannot do an ant build.
> svnant hasn't been updated in more than a year and appears to be dead, so it may no longer be a viable tool for the ant build.
