neon 0.26.1

[Troy Curtis Jr <tr...@gmail.com>]

I was curious about this new svnsync command so I built the latest and
greatest version (actually I built the 1.4.x-r21075/ branch first, and
then the trunk version to make sure my issue was not already fixed).
The only problem I had was that the configure script told me I had
neon 0.26.1, but needed 0.25.5 and until I got it libsvn_ra_dav would
not be built.  I run gentoo so it was easy enough to roll back to
0.25.5, but it seems to me it should be a >=0.25.5 kind of check.

Also note that the subversion 1.3.2 ebuild for gentoo actually
requires me to install 0.26.1 (0.25.5 is marked unstable for some
reason), and it has been working fine.

Is this a feature or a bug?  I could create a bug report if ya'll would like.

Troy

Gentoo ebuild for Neon 0.26.1 is hard coded with "--without-gssapi" ... it 
fails on servers that force authentication using SPNego only.

I have been using subversion-1.3.2 with neon-0.26.1 [on gentoo] to
access DAV repositories and never had any problems with it yet. Your
milage may, however, vary. After all, as Peter pointed out, there
probably IS a reason they require exactly 0.25.5...

On the other hand, I couldn't find any reason in Gentoo's Bugzilla or
otherwise for 0.25.5 to be masked in Portage...

The reason it's called 0.26 rather than 0.25.6 or 0.25.7 is because the
developers have made some incompatible changes.  Historically,
subversion has had to be adapted to each new major release of neon, and
in fact the library has caused enough trouble that minor releases are
manually approved as well.

I've been told that subversion will compile against neon 0.26 (if you
update the configure-time checks, as the gentoo ebuild does) but it
won't quite run properly.  I haven't verified this.  Do you use
subversion with http:// and https:// URLs?  If not, you aren't testing
the neon code paths.  (:
