So far we have two known issues with this tarball: svn-populate-node-origins-index doesn't build with Visual Studio 2010, 2012, or 2013 due to the ' in the project's descriptions. Bert found and fixed this in http://svn.apache.org/r1568180 Certificate validation failure. There was a missing initialization that will make certificates without subjectAltNames randomly fail to validate. svn.apache.org's certificate just so happens to be such a certificate. The bug is such that it will never allow a certificate to be validated that shouldn't be. Julian reported this here: https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201402.mbox/%3C1392388334.48607.YahooMailNeo%40web87705.mail.ir2.yahoo.com%3E and I fixed the problem in http://svn.apache.org/r1568349 I wasn't terribly inclined to re-roll 1.9.0-alpha for the first one, but the second one seems more critical since I'm guessing a lot of people will run into it. I'm not going to immediately run out and produce a new tarball since I suspect we may find more things, so please continue testing this and let me know if you find other things.
