After installing latest Tiger and running Fink for
apache2 and subversion I have been fighting with a non-fink bug for
quite a while.
The bug was quite well documented, it turned out. So here is is from the
FAQ at subversion
*********QUOTE START**********
There is a bug in APR 0.9.6 that is present when it is running on Tiger,
and shows up when you attempt to check out a file larger than 64K. The
resulting checkout fails, often with unpredictable error messages. Here
are some examples of what you might see on the client side, the specific
errors may differ for you:
svn: Invalid diff stream: [tgt] insn 1 starts beyond the target view
position
svn: Unexpected end of svndiff input
svn: REPORT request failed on '/path/to/repository'
svn: REPORT of '/path/to/repository/!svn/vcc/default': Chunk delimiter
was invalid
There may also be errors in the Apache error_log, such as:
[error] Provider encountered an error while streaming a REPORT response.
[500, #0]
[error] A failure occurred while driving the update report editor [500,
#190004]
To confirm the presence of this bug — assuming you have access to the
machine that the repository is being served from — try checking out
using a file:// URL, which will access the filesystem directly instead
of going through Apache. If the resulting checkout completes
successfully, then it is almost certain that this is the problem.
Currently, the best solution is to rebuild Apache and Subversion from
their respective sources, setting the following environment variable
before running configure for Apache:
setenv ac_cv_func_poll no
or in Bourne shell syntax, like this:
ac_cv_func_poll=no; export ac_cv_func_poll
If you built APR / APRUTIL separately (i.e., you did not use the ones
that come as part of the Apache tarball), you must set that environment
variable before running configure for APR, as this is where the problem
lies.
*********QUOTE END**********
The thread ending in http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-05/1349.shtml
also claims that apache 2.055 solves the problem.
Latest Fink apr 0.9.5-16, and apache2 is 2.052-12
Is there anyway that I can recompile the sources of apache2 and
subversion using the bugfixes proposed by subversionFAQ, and still
continue working with the Fink environment?
Thanks
Per Jansson, (who just upgraded to Tiger before starting with
subversion, just to be up to date!!!)
