Netware port of Subversion 1.0.5 requires testing
Guenter Knauf has posted his port of Subversion 1.0.5 for netware along
with the required patches to build it and bdb 4.2.52 from source. I
don't know subversion well enough to say that its 100% stable and we are
expecting a few bugs.
I do have 2 working systems up and running on netware 6.5 sp2 with
apache 2.0.50 (which is a current requirement due to apr issues I
believe), and am using auth_ldap for authentication against edirectory.
I have had some problems with crc errors on commits, though I plan on
testing on both a windows and linux system to make sure its not a
workstation issue.

I'll add another download location on my own server once I build 1.0.6
when its released.

These patches breaks down into a few categories:
1.) Additional build-system components for netware.
I think it would be best if these were integrated into the
configure/gen-make.py system instead of bolted on, as they appear
to be. We took great pains to do this for Win32, and I think the
results have been worth it.
2.) Patches to neon.
These should be submitted to the neon development team. They
look extremely innocuous, so I can't imagine them not being
accepted.
3.) A patch to subversion/libsvn_fs/fs.c
This patch uses "#ifdef NETWARE" to determine whether DB_PRIVATE
should be passed to BDB. I think it would be more appropriate
to resolve this at configure time, and generate some sort of
BDB_NEEDS_DB_PRIVATE #define instead.
Out of curiosity, are you sure that DB_PRIVATE is necessary
and correct? I believe that unless you are using a threaded
svnserve (and no other repository access method), that
DB_PRIVATE is not safe to use.
