While reviewing this one, I noticed something that was incorrect
before you started:
The text above suggests that CMake would become the default for all
platforms in 1.16. IIRC this had been considered/discussed and the
consensus was to keep the Autoconf build as default for Unix and make
CMake the default for Windows in 1.16. But we forgot to correct the
text.
I'm attaching a patch that changes the paragraph to:
[[[
Subversion's CMake-based build system was created in 2024 and is still
under development. It will be included in Subversion 1.15 and is
expected to be the default build system for Windows platforms starting
with Subversion 1.16. Section B below describes the CMake build system.
]]]
I may be away from a keyboard for a day or two so feel free to apply
as-is or modify if you like.
Thanks,
Nathan
* INSTALL
(II. INSTALLATION): CMake is planned to be the default for building SVN on
Windows. Clarifying this in the text, which previously implied that it
would become the default for Unix as well.
