Any volunteers?

I have added this task to the pre-release check-list in 
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-branches

Filed as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4716

If anyone has done or is doing any review please could you mention it 
there so we can track it.

Thanks.

I did a read-through comparison between branches/1.9.x and trunk of 
subversion/include/*.h concentrating on the new and changed doc strings 
(but not thoroughly reviewing the long ones) and Doxygen mark-up.

I committed a few tweaks in r1821183.

For http://
-----------

In the 1.9 build directory first run 1.9 davautocheck.sh:

  APACHE_MPM=event .../subversion/tests/cmdline/davautocheck.sh --no-tests

which creates an apache configuration in:

  subversion/tests/cmdline/httpd-2018-xxxxxx/

and starts a server.  Kill the server either with ps/kill or:

  /usr/sbin/apache2 -f `pwd`/subversion/tests/cmdline/httpd-2018*/cfg -k stop

Now edit the apache configuration file:

  vi subversion/tests/cmdline/httpd-2018-xxxxxxx/cfg

and change the paths for the mod_dav_svn, mod_authz_svn and
mod_dontdothat modules to refer to your 1.10 build.  Start the server:

  /usr/sbin/apache2 -f `pwd`/subversion/tests/cmdline/httpd-2018*/cfg -k start

and run the 1.9 tests:

  make check CLEANUP=1 PARALLEL=1 BASE_URL=http://localhost:3691

To verify that apache is really using the 1.10 libraries use ps to get
the ID of one of the apache processes and then run:

   grep libsvn /proc/NNN/maps

For svn://
----------

In the 1.10 build directory run:

  subversion/svnserve/svnserve -Tdr .../1.9-build/subversion/tests/cmdline

then in the 1.9 build directory run:

  make check CLEANUP=1 PARALLEL=1 BASE_URL=svn://localhost


Running the 1.10 tests against a 1.9 apache/svnserve is much the same
except that you need to specify SERVER_MINOR_VERSION when invoking make
check.

I meant how you tested 1.9 against 1.10 and 1.10 against 1.9 in general. 
Thanks for your first reply about that. This additional info is also useful.

Perhaps I answered the wrong question.  If you are asking how I disabled
part of ra-test then I simply removed the code and recompiled.  Looking
at it again I'm not sure why I referred to test 10 as the problem code
is in get_dir_test()

Nope; there are predicate functions for that.
svntest.main.is_ra_type_dav() in this case.

There's no predicate for the actual server version though.

That's good news indeed. Then compatibility testing is no longer

I suppose we could change the testsuite along these lines, but I don't
see it as something we have to do for 1.10.  I've looked at all the
errors that mixed 1.9-1.10 testing showed and I don't think any of them
are release critical.  For this particular test, the locking error
message, we might choose to backport a 1.9 client fix to improve the
client-generated error message and such a backport might make any change
to the trunk test redundant.  It may even be better to leave the trunk
test unchanged so that it fails with 1.9.7 but passes with some future
1.9.8.

It looks like the behaviour changes in 1.10 are intentional and Good.

I think the test suite should be updated to accept the old error when
the server is old, like this:

This is similar to what was present before r1716450, when the '403'
message was expected for the 'http' URLs, and the better message was
used for the svn:// case, which in 1.10 is now used for all cases.

However, this doesn't match the message Philip showed above, and this
is only for test #34.

I am still working on setting up the cross-version testing to pursue this.

Very much agreed!

We should do this before every minor release.  (Ideally we'd have a
buildbot task doing this, but until that happens, we should at least do
it manually before every minor release.)

I'll add the jira ticket / releasing.part.html bullet point later,
unless someone beats me to it...

Cheers,

Daniel

Thank you Philip! Extremely helpful.

If you are pursuing any of the follow-on tasks here, let us know so I or

I did this recently.

1.9 against a 1.10 server
=========================

First I ran the 1.9 testsuite against 1.10 servers
over http:// and svn://.  For http:// there were two FAILs:

  FAIL:  lock_tests.py 34: unlock file locked by other user
  FAIL:  lock_tests.py 53: unlock a lock with timeout

In both cases the problem is the testsuite getting different error from
that expected:

  W: Unexpected output
  W: EXPECTED STDERR (regexp):
  W: | svn: warning: W160039: .*[Uu]nlock of .*403 Forbidden.*
  W: ACTUAL STDERR:
  W: | svn: warning: apr_err=SVN_ERR_FS_PATH_ALREADY_LOCKED
  W: | svn: warning: W160035: Path 'pi' already locked (423 Locked)
  W: | ../src-1.9/subversion/svn/unlock-cmd.c:100: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_ILLEGAL_TARGET)
  W: | svn: E200009: One or more locks could not be released

It turns out that both 1.9 and 1.10 servers return the same underlying
FS error: the W160039 expected by the testsuite.  The difference is that
the 1.9 server wraps it in a 403 while the 1.10 server wraps it in a
423.  The 1.9 client does not have r1716450 and that causes the 1.9
client to convert the underlying FS error to W160035.

For svn:// there were three FAILs:

  FAIL:  ra-test 1: test svn_ra_get_location_segments
  FAIL:  ra-test 4: lock multiple paths
  FAIL:  ra-test 5: test ra_get_dir2

In all cases these are caused by the server returning
SVN_ERR_FS_INCORRECT_EDITOR_COMPLETION due to a commit editor drive
failing to close directories, a testsuite bug fixed in 1.10 by r1665532.

1.10 against a 1.9 server
=========================

I also ran the 1.10 testsuite against 1.9 servers over http:// and
svn://.  In order to run the svn:// tests I had to disable part of
ra-test 10 as the 1.9 server doesn't have r1723865 and the 1.10
testsuite would block.

There were more failures than running 1.9 against 1.10 but a number were
functionaltity missing from 1.9 which is to be expected.  Both http://
and svn:// failed these tests:

  FAIL:  ra-test 8: delete revision newer than youngest
  FAIL:  ra-test 9: check how ra functions handle bad revisions
  FAIL:  basic_tests.py 67: null 'update' updates last changed rev
  FAIL:  basic_tests.py 68: null 'property update' updates last changed rev
  FAIL:  svnadmin_tests.py 48: upgrade --compatible-version=1.3
  FAIL:  svnadmin_tests.py 56: svnadmin dump with no-op property change

The first ra-test FAIL is a faulty commit that is only detected by 1.10.
The second ra-test FAIL is test for r1665308, a revision range check
that is not in 1.9.

The basic_tests FAILs are issue 4700 which is not fixed in 1.9.

The first svnadmin_tests FAIL is due to the test using a 1.10 format
repository.  The second svnadmin_tests FAIL is due to issue 4623 which
is not fixed in 1.9.

The http:// tests also failed:

  FAIL:  lock_tests.py 34: unlock file locked by other user
  FAIL:  mod_dav_svn_tests.py 1: verify 'Cache-Control' headers on responses

The lock FAIL is the same lock change that affects 1.9 but in
reverse, the 1.9 server sends 403 and the 1.10 testsuite expects 423.
The mod_dav_svn_tests FAIL is a new 1.10 feature not provided by the
1.9 server.

Summary
=======

Assuming the 1.10 behaviour of sending the 423 lock error is correct
then we cannot avoid the behaviour change for the 1.9 client and the
1.10 release notes should document it.  In the longer term I suppose we
could backport a client side fix to 1.9.

1.9 with 1.10 libraries
=======================

I built 1.9 and 1.10 with --disable-full-version-match and then I copied
the 1.10 shared libraries, i.e. libsvn_*-1.so.0.0.0, into the 1.9 build
overwriting the 1.9 libraries.  Running the 1.9 regression tests allows
testing of some of the ompatibility wrappers since the 1.9 binaries will
still call the top level 1.9 functions.  This does not test all the
wrappers, only those invoked directly by the binaries.

There are 42 FAILs running the tests over ra_local, and fs-fs-pack-test
appears to hang and needs to be killed.  I have not yet investigated any
of these failures:
