do I have to rm /usr/local/lib/libsnv* before building upgrade?

[Seth Falcon <sf...@fhcrc.org>]

The INSTALL file instructs one to remove the installed libraries prior
to building a new version of Subversion.  Are there any work arounds
for this?

I'm interested in minimizing downtime on our server while upgrading to
1.1.  Given that I want to build from source and that I have to build
on the server, does anyone have any suggestions?

Is there a way to install another version of svn along side an
existing one?  Then I could get everything installed (and tested) and
then switch over with one restart of apache (and have the old version
to go back to if need be).

Thanks,

+ seth


PS: platform is Linux.  Repository is only accessed via Apache.

Thanks for the detail.  It sounds like I shouldn't worry about this if
I'm on a Linux system.  And if I understand correctly, I would be able
to determine if there was a problem by running ldd on the svn binary.

Generally this is only needed on BSD variants.  On BSD systems, libtool 
will often link against installed libraries before the the source-tree 
libraries.
