moving repository from 1.5.2 server to 1.4.4 server
I have read in the subversion book that it's completely possible to use
1.5.x clients against a 1.4.x subversion server/repository and how to use
hotcopy to backup a repository and then move it to another machine.
Unfortunately I think I may have come up against a wall in my desires
because nowhere can i find anything about moving a repository created on
Subversion 1.5.x (1.5.2 in my case) to a machine running 1.4.x. I have
created my hotcopy and moved it from a RHEL4 box running the CollabNet
Subversion server version 1.5.2 to an OpenBSD 4.4 box with subversion
installed from packages which happens to be version 1.4.4. Working with
repos created with 1.4.4 obviously works fine with both the native
svnadmin tools and also viewvc.
When i try to work with the moved repository I keep getting messages
similar to:
#svnlook info test_repo
svnlook: Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'
and using viewvc very similar error:
An Exception Has Occurred
Python Traceback

File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.0.7/lib/viewvc.py", line 3746, in main

in svn_repos_open
return apply(_repos.svn_repos_open, args)
SubversionException: ("Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'", 160043)
Is there a way to make the 1.4.4 server work with the repos created on the
1.5.2 server?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, after doing even more reading, I did actually try the dump. It
seems to have worked just fine. (except for the following error using
cvsweb)
An Exception Has Occurred

While reading the subv. book, it said there are some gotchas to doing the
dump vs. the hotcopy (i.e. hooks, $repo/conf/* files etc won't get backed
up) is there any other reason that a hotcopy would be any better than a
dump? I'm not worried about file sizes or time constraints, I just want
to ensure that when i move my repositories they are in the same shape as
before I moved them.
Thanks again.

Hi
Did you try a dump instead of the hotcopy?
