FC2 RPM svnserve problem
Clean FC2 rpm, svn from http://atrpms.net/name/subversion/. The rpm I
used was subversion-1.0.5-0_3.rhfc2.at.i386.rpm which went in without
a hitch & it seems to start up ok with svnserve not reporting any
errors. As soon as I run svn though I hit this
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#redhat-db
with a slightly different message:
[root@gonzo svntest]# svn checkout svn://localhost/j2me
svn: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem
/data/Vol1/Subversion/j2me/db:
Invalid argument
[root@gonzo svntest]#
Have I done something wrong please?

I wasn't trolling, I was just sharing my view on this. Sorry, didn't
mean to hurt your feelings :)
It has been some time since I've last used it, I'll check it out again
today. Keep up the community work! It was probably some combination of
repo's that created the problems some time ago.
Appologies,
Steven

Agreed!
So to complete this for other list searchers, and publically thank
Axel, here was the solution:
rpm -e subversion subversion-devel subversion-perl mod_dav_svn
yum install subversion subversion-devel subversion-perl mod_dav_svn

After reading about all the difficulties people are having on
[insert-os-name-here] caused by the [silly/wrong/nearsighted/inconvenient]
choices made by [insert-dist-or-company-name-here], I'd like to thank all
those who put in a lot of effort on the win32 builds and other packages/rpms
to keep all us users working.
You guys do a great job.
As for those having trouble, keep at it. It's worth it.

Try
apt-get install {subversion,subversion-devel,subversion-perl,mod_dav_svn}=1.0.4-2
and confirm you want to downgrade the rpms.
But I am 99% sure that you will have the same issues. You do have a
pre-i686 processor, right? See also my other (older) reply.

Coz I'm a humble newbie ;-)
Well, not so newbie now, as I have been running on w2000 for a while
and want to move to Fedora. A few days ago the FC2 link was posted to
this newslist which is what prompted me.
Ok, how can I salvage this?
I had fedora since C2T1 and dont remember a svn option back when I
installed it. Since then I let up2date pull in everything so I'm bang
up to date now. svn definitely wasn't insalled, I know because the
command line failed and after the rpm install it worked. So, if I have
just installed a dodgy version can I get back on track via up2date
somehow please?
Thanks for the help guys!!

Ohh this just gets better and better - I did that and they are all

You can move repositories between OSes providing the source and destination machines have the same byte order (i.e.
big-endian/little-endian). *But* you need to "svnadmin recover" the repository on the new machine to rewrite the Berkeley DB shared
memory backing files to be compatible with the new OS.

Yes - perfectly, as well as the url based way using localhost.
There is an issue here you guys might (like to?) be aware of, but its
something I can live with. I mentioned I'm moving from Windows to
Linux. Well it seems the repositories are not compatible, or more
likely my process is flawed. What I did was mount the linux folder as
a samba share on the Windows box and drag the repositories over (svn
was stopped, created copies). The files seemed ok. I started svnserve
(don't use Apache) and tried a checkout - it failed, I got the same
Berkely db error I originally reported. So I used svnadmin to create a
new repos in Linux and that was fine, its the one I've been doing
these tests with. Similarly browsign the ex-windows repositories from
a remote client using Tortoise fails, the nbew native ones are fine.
(with that it connects but I just get the word "Dummy" in the panel).
I actually used windows just to test svn having moved from SourceSafe.
Its passed :-) So its really only lightly loaded, and recreating the
repositories manually doesn't cause too much pain. I can see it could
in other circumstances though. Does it sound like the copy process I
used was at fault, or is there a platform issue here?

Eric mailed me in PM that this was not the case (it's an athlon xp).
I have verified the rpms are working (with svn://) on
o FC1/Athlon XP 1800+,
o FC2/Athlon XP 2000+,
o FC2/Dual Opteron 248
Eric did the file:// method of checking out work? E.g.
svn co file:///j2me delme

Is that a K6, Pentium I or otherwise pre-i686? Then it's a db/nptl
issue like Joeri's quoted bugzilla entry.

Hello,
FC2 has a uptodate version of subversion (they call it 1.0.4-2 with
is 1.0.5). I'm using it and have no problems.
Why are you not using the "official" version?
