apr "0.9.5" requirement

Where does the requirement for apr "0.9.5" come from, out of 
interest?  I can't find any reason why SVN won't work with 0.9.4.

I guess I will have a nice evening of work changing the Subversion build
system and recompiling all of subversion using APR 0.9.4. After I complete this,
I will report back to the list. We might consider switching back the
requirement to 0.9.4.

BTW: Philip, the argument for requiring 0.9.5 changes from time to time.
cmpilato has argued that a function (don't remember which one) was not
implemented in 0.9.4, but it seems to anyway. I'll try building with 0.9.4 (in tree)
and see what happens...

bye,

Erik.

Well, not everybody will build --with-apxs. Can we require 0.9.4 if we don't
build for apache? Or can we just reject apache 2.0.47 and allow APR 0.9.4?
(Which reflects the dependencies better...)

Erik.

OK, thanks, that makes sense; both the db version detection stuff and
apr_file_mtime_set weren't in the snapshots of apr/apr-util included
with 2.0.47.  Preventing the use of released versions of apr, apr-util,
httpd and subversion from working together is a little unfortunate.

Erik: don't waste your evening on my account, I only care from a
packagers perspective.  0.34.0 went through our build system against
apr/util 0.9.4 without problems after a little:

perl -pi -e 's/\.\[5-9\]/\.\[4-9\]/' configure

I've done it again!  This has come up before and I made a similar
comment that proved to be wrong.  The conclusion I reached last time
was that it's really an Apache requirement.  The apr and apr-util
bundled with Apache 2.0.47 are too old, we need 2.0.48 which comes
with apr[-util] 0.9.5.  Subversion needs to reject the 0.9.4
development versions that come with 2.0.47.

That was supported in apr-util 0.9.4, the only changes on the apr-util
0.9 branch since 0.9.4 have been a single-line bugfix to build/dbm.m4
and some win32 build system stuff. (unless I'm not driving cvs rdiff
straight)

Subversion needs apr-util 0.9.5 as it uses "apu-config --db-version".
I don't know if this means apr 0.9.5 is needed as well.
