Messed up SVN install on our zone...

[Theo Van Dinter <fe...@apache.org>]

Hrm.  So apparently on spamassassin.zones.apache.org::

$ which svn
/opt/subversion-1.1.4/bin/svn

but

$ svn --version
svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)
   compiled Feb 25 2007, 04:34:40
[...]

which is interesting because:

$ svnversion --version
svnversion, version 1.1.4 (r13838)
   compiled May  2 2005, 19:37:43

So it appears someone has messed up the SVN install on the zone.  This is
breaking the SpamAssassin zone's nightly cronjobs since "svn" upgraded the
working copies to 1.4, and then the 1.1.4 binaries can't use them. :(

If you can change it, and it won't affect too many other things, you can
set a PATH from cron to use in /etc/default/cron and it will be passed
on to all jobs.

Can you change you PATH to use /opt/subversion-1.4.3/bin instead
of /opt/subversion-1.1.4/bin ?
