supported versions
Hi,
Just had a discussion with WANdisco about the versions that are
supported for TSVN. Since their customer is using an 1.4.x server I
wanted to check which version SVN still supports, i.e., provides at
least security updates for. But I couldn't find anything on the web
about that.
I think that this was discussed on the mailing list before that only the
current stable branch is supported with bugfixes, and the one branch
before only with security updates. Meaning now: 1.6.x still gets
bugfixes, and 1.5.x would get security updates if necessary.
Is this correct?
And shouldn't there be something on the web mentioning this? Or maybe
there is but I couldn't find it...

I preview them in a locally-installed httpd. (I already had one set up
for the Python tests, so I just extended its config a bit.)
I can share that httpd.conf (for previewing the site and running tests)
if you like...
(really, we should figure out the minimal httpd.conf needed to preview
the site and commit that to /site/httpd.conf)

Where would be the best place?
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/
http://subversion.apache.org/source-code.html
or
http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
IMHO the release-notes page would be best, since the packages page first
mentions that those are not officially endorsed or maintained, and the
source-code page won't be browsed to by most users.
My suggestion for the text:
Supported versions
The Subversion project supports the following stable branches:
(table)
1.6.x fully supported
1.5.x partially supported, only security fixes and fixes which would
cause data loss
1.4.x sparse support only: only fixes for severe security issue and
data loss issues
1.3.x and earlier not supported anymore
Is there a way to get a preview of the modified html files? Showing them
in a browser doesn't show them properly so it's hard to figure out if
the changes are correct.

This looks fine. I'd say just commit it. If there's anything wrong
with the way it looks someone (cmpilato?) will happily fix it.
Thanks,

Yeah, something on the download page is probably appropriate. Wanna
take a whack at it?

Thanks, this really isn't easy to find.
May I suggest to add a separate page explaining in detail which versions
are supported and with what (bugfixes, security fixes, data-loss fixes,
...). Or maybe a separate section on the download page?
