svn - very large files

[ma...@uk.nomura.com]

Hi, 

I tried to source control a large (2.5GB) file - svn broke. 

I read that the fault was in the version of apr that svn uses (0.9) 

I downloaded apr and apr-utils 1.2.7 source distro and compiled 

I downloaded latest svn 1.3.2 and compiled with new apr and apr-utils 

However, now when I issue the command "svn status" I get a segmentation
fault. 

Am I going about this the right way?

You've heard correctly that support for files > 2GB is not in APR  
0.9.x, and is in APR 1.2.x. Not sure why you're getting a segfault  
though. Are you serving your repository with Apache? If so, have you  
also recompiled your Apache to use the new APR version? I believe you  
need to keep Apache and Subversion in sync with respect to the APR  
version they're built with, else weirdness happens.
