Hey Guys,Just a heads up concerning the latest Subversion release, 1.4.2. A very simple build/configuration built fine against current LFS svn. Apparently there are some major improvements with this release: * svnsync, a new repository mirroring tool * Huge working-copy performance improvements * Support for BerkeleyDB 4.4 and its "auto recovery" feature * Size improvements to the binary delta algorithm * A handful of new command switches * Many improved APIs * More than 40 new bugfixes More on the BDB updates: "Subversion 1.4 can now be compiled against BerkeleyDB 4.4, which has a new "auto-recovery" feature. If a Subversion server process crashes and leaves the repository in an inconsistent state, the next process which attempts to access the repository will notice the problem, grab exclusive control of the repository, and automatically recover it. In theory (and in our testing), this new feature makes BerkeleyDB-based repositories just as wedge-proof as FSFS repositories." -- JH
Please review the comments about the new Subversion in http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2047. You apparently overlooked these critical items (removing certain packages from the distribution). Of course, if it is determined that we should go to 1.4.x for BLFS-6.2, then we will consider it, but right now I believe the path is to update to the newest 1.3.x version and do 1.4.x after BLFS-6.2. Please, don't hesitate to comment. I've been out of touch with BLFS for quite a while now and am just getting back in action. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
