Another issue is that svn-web is not compatible with Subversion 1.7.
It seems to pass invalid input to the Subversion libraries.
If I configure svnweb's config.yml to show the ASF repository,
like this:
repos:
asf: 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf'
and try to browse Subversion's own revision log at:
http://localhost/svnweb/index.cgi/asf/log/subversion/trunk
I get an Internal Server Error page, and the following appears in the
httpd error_log file:
svn: E235000: In file 'subversion/libsvn_ra/deprecated.c' line 316: assertion
failed (*path != '/')
This error comes from svn_ra_get_log2(), the documentation of which
clearly states that the paths provided must be relative:
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/api/1.7/svn__ra_8h.html#a366d8ab12ae02fcade47bcbda7078f0a
It seems like a waste of time to try to fix SVN-Web.
There haven't been any upstream commits since 2008:
http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/log/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk
I would suggest to remove the p5-SVN-Web port and port ViewVC instead.
ViewVC is still being maintained upstream. http://viewvc.tigris.org/
