migrate svn 1.4 to 1.6
Hello,
I am planning a migrate/upgrade SVN server that work at *windows 2003 server
*.
My current version is *1.4* and I want to migrate to *1.6*
1) Should I restart the windows server at the end of the process ? Is it
needed?
2) Do anybody have the step by step of a same experience?
Best Regards,
Fernando Freitas

Hi Stefan
This is what I posted more than an year back. I was mainly facing two issues
when I was using svnant that internally uses svnkit.
http://readlist.com/lists/subversion.tigris.org/users/10/52332.html
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.subclipse.user/15584/match=
Performance issue I was able to resolve by upgrading svnkit that was shipped
with svnant. I added bunch of additional svnkit dependencies to the classpath
(jna) and set one of the parameters to false (set svnkit.symlinks=false
)
I was able to workaround the second issue by not performing non recursive svn
checkouts using svnant.

Which issues in particular?
Can you point to relevant mailing list threads or issue numbers?
Because how can people tell whether the issue might affect them
if they can't get more specific information about the problem?
How can they tell whether the problem might be serious or benign
for their use cases?
In general, any compatibility issues between clients and servers
of different versions can be found in the compatibility tables in
the release notes. For 1.5 and 1.6 this would be:
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#new-feature-compatibility-table
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#new-feature-compatibility-table
If the issue you're referring to isn't listed there, it would help
if you could point at more specific information. (I'm also interested
because I'd like to know about the issue -- I cannot recall it off the
top of my head.) Thanks!

Also make sure to upgrade all the svn client applications to 1.6 after upgrading
your svn server and the repository to 1.6. There were issues with non recursive
checkouts using some svn client applications.

Not 100% true, you can run svnadmin upgrade on your repositories also. It takes much less time. A dump load of our primary repo takes about a day. svnadmin upgrade (from 1.5 to 1.6 ran in about 10 mins on our repo.)

As already mentioned, not the server but you will need to restart apache
/ avnserve. I would shut them down before hand to make sure that you
can upgrade all the files svn files properly (this is windoze after
all). If your server never gets rebooted, now might be as good a time
as any!

88-to-svn-1-6
...is the best out of the first page of search results.
Remember that upgrading the server is only part of the picture. Any new
repos you create will get all the benefits but existing repos will not
get the full benefits unless you can find the time to do a dump/load.
You don't have to do this but I would think about it... Remember the
clients too.
Hope that helps,

you shouldn't have to restart the service. But, you will have to restart the service that you are using, either Apache or svnserve daemon.
