Tigris binary packages for Windows

Hi,
We have a custom server setup and we have been using Tigris.org binaries for
Windows. The latest version there, however, is 1.6.6.
Will there be Tigris.org binary packages for Windows for Subversion 1.6.9
and later? Or perhaps an equivalent of these packages, with full server,
client and bindings but without installers?

Seconded.  Apache 2.2 is a must, language bindings are not 
needed here, nor OpenSSL.  But I would highly prefer to continue 
with BDB repository (which I understand from previous postings is 
one of the harder things of the complex build process unfortunately).

It is not critical. I am quite happy with what I already have for the price
(many thanks for providing these for free).

It is just that I already have HTTPD installed and configured, and the only
HTTPD bits what I need from the bundle are mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn.

Looks like we're getting closer to official binaries then... As far as the
python bindings installer goes, that's something I know nothing about.  I
have new code for the windows WiX-based installer, but thus far haven't had
any commit access to place the code back in.  The WiX code in the repository
has 'issues'.

You're right, the first one is an installer and the second one only the 
files.
If you look at tigris download page a bit further down you see the 
corresponding zip-file there as well.
I've just havn't looked into byinding these installers.

I'm not a python programmer so I don't really know how to install this 
package (thats why the bindings are not tested).
But I suppose you can just extract the file over the old ones.
Actually it's not Troy that used to build the python installers, it was 
DJ Heap, who also used to build the binaries.
Maybe he has some info on this matter.

So far so good.  Minor points but the ".11" package readme still refers
to ".9" and some of the files have a different name format from the
tigris packages, e.g.:

 o svn-python-1.6.6.win32-py2.6.exe
 o svn-win32-1.6.11_py.zip

...although I realise one is an installer and the other just the files.

Actually, I am unsure about installing the latter, can I just copy the
files over the ones I already have installed or do I need to tell python
about it somehow (probably OT for this list I guess, perhaps Troy is
listening)?

It would be really great if Troy could pick up the baton here as that

That way no runtime-dll:s (msvcr*) needs to be distributed with it.

You star!  Thanks very much.  I will do some testing with apache 2.2 on
windoze using mod_dav_svn and python bindings (to Trac using mod_wsgi)
and report back...


Out of interest, did you use VC6 or VC2008 to compile (there were
suggestions earlier in the thread that there might be some potential
issues using VC2008 binaries against the official apache build which I
am required to use here):

Also, did you hook up with Troy about the installers ~ I assume that he
would be able to put them on tigris at least until we get a new home on
apache:

That's awesome. Many thanks for all this, it's a relief to see those 
packages available again.

Ah, yes, I don't read the dev list, too many messages that I don't have 
a clue what they are talking about.

I don't use the bindings, but I just used the rest of it. It works just 
fine, couldn't see a problem with the package. It even installs on top 
of the previous ones, no need to uninstall before installing that one.

Once again, many thanks for this.
As far as I'm concerned, these packages are good to go and should be put 
forward on the SVN website pages.

I have built both 1.6.9 and 1.6.11
They are available on my webpage http://alagazam.net
You (and anyone else) is welcome to download and use it.

The reason I've not announced the release in this (users) list is that 
I've hoped some people reading the dev list (where I did announce it) to 
download and test it first so I know my build environment is okey.
As the web page says all test on subversion itself is running ok., but 
the bindings has not been tested.

Folks,

I am resurrecting this thread to ask if anyone has come forward to volunteer time and/or effort to resurrect the windoze binaries as we are still on 1.6.6 against 1.6.11 announced a few days ago.

One idea I had was installing Collabnet's release and using their 
binaries to build the Windows msi installer.
Don't know if this can be done legally? I think should be OK but I don't 
know. Anyone who knows ?

I do not doubt that there are places where users can get a proper
Apache, but I guarantee if we provide binaries via tigris that
requires this, the lists will be flooded with users having weird
problems because they did not know.

Even though some people do not like it, this is why we bundle Apache
with the CollabNet binaries.  We are ultimately concerned with helping
people easily setup and run a SVN server and having them get their own
Apache is just a recipe for problems.

Any reason that is critical to you?  The installer does little more
than unpack to a location and add to PATH.  You can add /S to command
line to run it silent as well as specify the location.  I doubt the
small install UI is the problem though.

I, personally, do not know with what VS version official Apache HTTPD
binaries (*.msi) are built with, but the ones from
http://www.apachelounge.com/ that I am using (many thanks to them for
providing those)  are built with VC 2008.

I had to install VC 2008 redistributable package, that can be downloaded here:
www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en

I used Tigris binaries before, but since 1.6.9 I am using the
Collabnet ones. I wish those were available as a zip archive (or with
a command to unpack the installer), though.

This is for a 32-bit OS.

I checked the last zipped binaries the other day and ran a depends 
against them, and they were only dependent on vanilla msvc runtime 
libraries... so yes, he was using MSVC 6 still.

The first issue you mention about building mod_dav_svn with different 
run time library dependency as httpd is the bigger issue.

Is httpd always built using MSVC 6 still?

If that is a hard constraint, then distributing the new run time 
libraries is red-herring.

Nevertheless, for the second issue, with the new Wix-based installer, 
distributing newer runtime libraries is now trivial. You just install 
the relevant library and policy merge modules provided by the compiler.

I still have a compiler and (probably) a build setup for a svn 1.4x 
build I did using VC 6.0 back in 2006. I havent tried since, as it was a 
real pain (as others have echoed) to drag in all the dependencies, 
tools, and modify setup and scripts that would make it all work... and I 
havent found the motivation to do it again.

When you talk about Apache 2.2 support I assume you mean you need
mod_dav_svn and not just to have SVN compiled against Apache 2.2's
version of APR?

One other "pain" I thought of is that ideally the binaries should be
built using MSVC 6.0 (I am assuming DJ has not changed that).  Since
the httpd binaries are built using that you can have problems if a
newer Visual Studio is used for mod_dav_svn.  You also have to deal
with distributing the MS runtime libraries if a newer version is used.

The "pain" is that is not possible to obtain a legal copy of MSVC 6.0
anymore.  So unless you already have a copy you cannot get it.

Building with Visual Studio 2008 is a lot simpler but has these other
problems to contend with.

Yes, of course.
The debate here is to find a minimal set of options to restart creating 
win32 builds. Once the minimal set works, it will be easier to add the 
rest of it.

As a windows user (and now admin) of Trac (trac.edgewall.org) I have
always appreciated the python bindings as a necessary part of the
package.  It is one of the reasons that I was able to propose and am now
implementing Trac and subversion at work (which mandates windoze instead
of linux).

I looked at building what we needed from source but do not have time
allocated nor access to virtual machines (or even permission to install
all the requisite packages!) to be able to do it myself.

So, many thanks to D J Heap, Troy Simpson & co for all the hard work and
a plea to continue to support apache and bindings...

Just fyi, but the CollabNet installer can also be installed Silent by
using the /S switch and accepts a command line option to specify the
directory to install to.  The next version (next SVN release) will
also support an "answer file" so that you can provide the values for
any of the options in the UI of the installer.  In the current version
(and in the absence of this file) we just choose a default.  These
features came from users asking for them, as was suggested earlier.

For an individual, yes.  I have around 6000 installs to "upgrade"...
(Yes, there are other ways to do large upgrades, but the individual
 users needs to upgrade on their own here for other reasons.)

I don't see any showstoppers either.  We can all adapt.  In fact,
we were previously using the Collabnet installers, and (in this case
unfortunately) moved to the tigris ones in the past for various reasons.

Most likely, we will repackage something internally, which we
do for most other apps anyway.  (I build our solaris and linux
versions from scratch with all dependencies, so I should just
get off my lazy butt and build Windows too...)

Don't get me wrong, I *HIGHLY* appreciate all the effort put
forth in the past (and in the future) by all the volunteers!!!

Ok... 

1. You only have to remove the tigris installer once. 
2. You can specify the install directory rather than accept the default. When you run upgrades it will maintain the INSTALLDIR that you used.
3. It only "installs" apache if you select it. And you can also opt to not set up svnserver/apache as services if you have you own apache install you want to use. Yes it throws apache in there too... 20 MB or so. You can delete it if taht 20 MB really bothers you. You could create a batch file that deletes all of the apache stuff except mod.dav_svn.so and run it after you run the installer.

There is also the client only installer which doesn't install any of the server side stuff.

If you want just the command line binaries, use the client only collabnet installer.

I really haven't seen a show stopper with using the collabnet installers except for, what seem to me, like a few very minor nits. 

Also, maybe if you ask collabnet to modify their install a bit so you can have it give you mod_dav_svn.so without all the other apache stuff they might be willing to do that.

Different default installation path and the old tigris installer
needs to be manually removed.  The collabnet one can install more stuff
(including apache) which I wouldn't want to give as an option.

I'm willing to move to another installer for our enterprise users
for a "major" 1.7 upgrade, but hesitant to do it sooner.

My other option is to just modify the TortoiseSvn installer to
include command line binaries from somewhere.  (This wouldn't
be for outside distribution though, so wouldn't help the community.)

What is wrong with the collabnet installers/binaries that you can't use them?

My understanding of needing to build windows binaries from source would be to provide binaries for each svn commit in order to simplify testing interium versions.

Re: Tigris binary packages for Windows

My plan was to build (for a start) what's included in the 
svn-win32-1.6.x.zip,

Win32 binaries (svn, svnadmin, svnserve, svnmucc, etc...) both dor BDB 
and FSFS, including OpenSSL
Modules for Apache 2.2.x (mod_dav_svn.so, mod_authz_svn.so)

in short: what's needed for building the Windows msi installer.

Well, I, for one, would need the Apache 2.2 bindings but I do not need 
the Python bindings at all, which I suspect most users don't either.
So basic binaries with 2.2 support would be perfect for starters

RE: Tigris binary packages for Windows

For base-level support, we narrowed that down to apache 2.2x.  Do we really
need to support all the python builds? They were a great service from D.J.
Heap, but now that we don't have that, do we really need to ditch all
windows builds?  What we could look at is a standard base-level windows
build that most people use.  Personally, I just use a windows client, as do
many users - I don't even use the apache bindings, nor do many windows
users.  We could leave specialised builds to teams who want to support them
which in theory would make the job at this end much easier.

I do not want to jinx myself for the next time I have to setup a new
system, but I do not find it that difficult.  I have been building SVN
on Windows for years and have set it up on a number of new systems. I
usually get it all working right the first time now.

It is certainly a "pain in the ***" but it is not that hard.  The
worst part is just that building SVN means building a whole lot of
other software first and tracking down dependencies for those build
processes like Perl/Python that you might not otherwise have
installed.

Personally, I would steer people away from volunteering for this task
because I know what a pain it is.  Building the basic binaries is not
too hard, but doing it for all of the bindings and dealing with things
like providing different versions of the binaries built against
different Python versions or Apache versions gets to be a bit much.
Not to mention some of the variants in building in support for some of
the different SSL and authentication packages.  These are basically
the reasons I cannot see this project ever officially supporting any
specific binary.  It should really be the maintainer of the binary
that does the support because there are too many factors involved.

There are a couple of other ways to build svn besides what's documented in 
INSTALL :-).  I posted to this list a makefile that I use (with VC 
express) for my windows build, and IIRC the tortoisesvn folks (and other

(Oh, and I don't know if anyone ever tried to cross-compile svn windows

There is instructions how to build Win32 binaries in the INSTALL file.
However, I tried twice (once at work and once at home) and failed with 
compilation errors. Maybe because of using wrong version of dependencies 
or wrong parameters to the build scripts.
And I havn't had the time to track those errors down to their source.

I have a virtual machine I can use for the build process.
I too would be very happy if DJ could come up with a detailed

I cannot help thinking that we might have avoided a lot of questions and
frustrations if a status note and request for a new maintainer had been
added to either the download page (still tigris.org) and/or the Windows
Binaries page at apache
(http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows).

I have looked at buiding the binaries myself but am unsure of how much
work there is (and I have issues about what I am allowed to install
here) but there seems to be quite a lot involved to build:
~ the main subversion binaries
~ Apache 2.0 binaries
~ Apache 2.2 binaries
~ python bindings for 2.5, 2.6, ...
~ ruby bindings
~ perl bindings
~ JavaHL (?)
~ Debug symbol packages

As previously mentioned, the problem stems mostly from lack of
instructions of how to put this all together...

So the situation is as follows:

The previous builder (DJ Heap?) does not have the time to build the 
Win32 binaries anymore.
I, for one, could dedicate a few hours to create the latest ones and the 
next ones as well. It does not seem too much complicated to build them.
What I'm lacking is a description of what to run and in what order.
I mean, there are Python scripts related to win32 in the build folder, 
but I am not sure what they are doing. Having a simple "step by step" 
guide would actually save time.
Is there a way to ask the previous builder to at least document this?

Olivier

So the situation is as follows:

The previous builder (DJ Heap?) does not have the time to build the 
Win32 binaries anymore.
I, for one, could dedicate a few hours to create the latest ones and the 
next ones as well. It does not seem too much complicated to build them.
What I'm lacking is a description of what to run and in what order.
I mean, there are Python scripts related to win32 in the build folder, 
but I am not sure what they are doing. Having a simple "step by step" 
guide would actually save time.
Is there a way to ask the previous builder to at least document this?

I too posted a question about the windows build process, but without
the recipe, I just haven't found the time to dig into it myself.
(I created my virtual machine, but wasn't even sure what build tool
 versions were preferred.)

I believe there are windows binaries generated by the windows build bots.
Not sure if the build bots run on the release branches for all platforms,
but that could probably be remedied.  No idea if those binaries
are built in a compatible way to the previous release ones...

There was some discussion if some of the Apache infrastructure could
be used for the build.  Not sure if that was resolved or pursued.

If I remember correctly, DJ's build machine completely died and is the
main reason he was unable to perform the build.

Hi,

 

I can still build the installer, but I have never built binaries.  The installer code in the repository is NOT the latest code.  I had lost commit access for a time during the transition and by the time I got that access back there are no more binaries, so it has been pointless to continue development.  If someone could produce binaries I could get the installer back on track, otherwise it’s not worth spending any time on if the project will not support (as in supply) windows binaries.

 

I was advised to discuss this on the dev list, which is what I did, however there has been zero response.  There is more discussion on the user end than the developer end.  If anyone in user-land has the capability to construct the binaries in a similar fashion to the way they were produced before, I for one would bring this to the attention of the developer list if nobody else does.  It is my opinion that the project should have a ‘supported’ release to assist with bug finding and to provide end-users with a standard base-level release.

 

 

Regards,

 

Troy Simpson

Hi,
We have a custom server setup and we have been using Tigris.org
binaries for Windows. The latest version there, however, is 1.6.6.
Will there be Tigris.org binary packages for Windows for Subversion
1.6.9 and later? Or perhaps an equivalent of these packages, with
full server, client and bindings but without installers?
      

I would be interested in those as well, please.

Hi,
 
the same here, I'm lacking this builds too

I would not mind building them, but I have a hard time finding any instructions to build the binaries for win32.
There are instructions for building the installation package, but without the binaries and the compiled help, it's not of any use yet.

Regards
Olivier
