subversion upgrade from 1.2.0 to 1.4.2 failing

[Jason Keltz <ja...@cse.yorku.ca>]

Hi.

I'm trying to upgrade a small test subversion repository from version 
1.2.0 in bdb format to version 1.4.2 in fsfs format to see how this 
works for a larger system-wide upgrade.

With the 1.2.0 version, I used svnadmin dump to dump the contents of the 
repository to a file.  I then removed the repository directory, used 
svnadmin create from the new version to recreate the repository 
directory.  I then used svnadmin load < dump to re-load the original 
file.  The load works okay.  There are no errors.  Similarly, an 
svnadmin verify produces no errors.  However, when I try to do a list on 
the repository, I get this error:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/jastest'
svn: Can't read file '/local/subversion/repos/jastest/db/revs/4': End of 
file found

If I erase the repository directory, recreate it with 1.2.0, and 
restore, everything is fine.

Am I missing something here?

I'm running CentOS 4.4.  I've compiled subversion from source.  I used 
the deps package as well.

Any ideas?

Jason.

Are these on the same machine? You didn't by chance transfer the file 
using FTP in ASCII mode, did you?

Why not use the binary rpm linked from the download page? They've always 
worked very well for me on CentOS.
