             Summary: release scripts should check for tools it will at the start of building
                 Key: HBASE-24773
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24773
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sean Busbey


I just had a RC build fail *after* going through all the work to build everything because a recent OS upgrade meant that my {{svn}} command had been replaced by a placeholder that provided an error message about how X-Code is no longer providing subversion binaries.

getting a new copy of svn installed was easy enough, but if we're going to use subversion we should have an init check similar to what we have for yetus / maven / etc.
