New issue 1710 by repenning.jack: Bad link (subversion installers) in
installation dox
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=1710
What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/installation/windows/#subversion
Describe the problem and any recommendations below.
Link text: Subversion downloads
Link target:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
Problem: that folder no longer exists
Symptom: Tigris site reports servlet error (which is pretty bogus, but not
ReviewBoard's problem!)
Suggested replacement target:
http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/subversion.html
Please provide any additional information below.
The folder you've linked two was formerly maintained by community
volunteers, but has fallen into disuse (hasn't been updated in half a dozen
releases). The volunteers abandoned this process because professionally
built and certified (but still free) installers are now available. The
contents of these folders have become stale, and will soon be entirely
superseded (by Subversion 1.7). The Tigris folders were rearranged to draw
attention to this, and lead users to more current installers.
There are a couple sources, but the one I suggested above is the most
popular. Alternatively, but somewhat less directly, you might link to the
community's package directory, from which your users would then select
their own installers for any platform:
