svn-0.14.2 on windows notes
Two tidbits for Windows users of subversion that I found useful are:
- Placing the libdb40.dll in Apache2/bin will let the Apache service
start without an error
(If this could be noted in the Windows install docs, it'd be great; I
had to dig through the list to find it)
- Also, already mentioned on the list was an error that d:\svn-repo is
not a SVN repo, even though it is. I resolved this by downloading
svn-0.14.1 and dropping it's mod_dav_svn.so file into Apache2/modules
instead of svn-0.14.2's version.
I could then browse the repo via a browser, but then when it came to
writing, I take it the mod_dav_svn.so from .1 doesn't talk well with a
2 repo, as I had to re-create the repo as .1 to be able to write via
WebDAV.
Also, a quick question, I've got 0.14.1 running on WinXP (despite the
warnings about corrupted data, this is just a test installation until
[hopefully] SP1. I can read from another box via Web Folders, but cannot
write (though I can write if I use the svn client).
Has anyone successfully got WinXP Web Folders writing to a Subversion
repo regardless of the repo's platform?
I assumed it was possible as it's all WebDAV based. I'm thinking perhaps
Web Folders doesn't support DeltaV? (I haven't been able to find any
info from Microsoft that states one way or the other). Or is this only
broken with the WinXP-based repo?
Thanks,
Stephen

no.

subversion's WebDAV support is not complete. we only support (at the
moment) enough webdav to make subversion work. it is a happy
coincidence that this lets other DAV clients (web folders, os x's
finder, etc) read our repository. at some point (post 1.0), subversion
will be enhanced so that it is a full WebDAV/DeltaV server, but for now
it only somewhat works.
so unfortunately, even if Web Folders did support DeltaV, it probably
wouldn't work.

Good point. Care to provide a patch for INSTALL?
(The thing is, I don't ever see that problem because I have libdb40.dll
in my PATH -- as the install docs suggest.)

That means your Apache is too old.

I'd be surprised if anyone could do that, given that mod_dav_svn.so
doesn't support DAV auto-versioning.

This is a FAQ ... Subversion does not provide a complete DAV
implementation yet, only the bits that are necessary for the SVN client
to talk to the SVN server.

I don't understand the question. If you mean Windows binaries, they're
where they have always been -- in the downloads area of the Subversion
home page (subversion.tigris.org). Or did you have something else in mind?

We're still using the Cygwin versions of diff and diff3 in the Windows
installer, although hopefully that won't be necessary much longer. Apart
from that, Cygwin was never required.

I looked around the site quite a bit before posting this ...
Where are Windows files and installation directions?
Am I correct in believing that Cygwin is no longer required?
Thanks,
