Hi all
In an earlier post I was having probs with getting subversion to work on a server as
there wasn't enough entropy. I can't use the rng-tools as it's a virtual server and
it does not have access to that hardware (it hangs actually if I try). Hence I have
compiled subversion now and I have to install it. I'm testing it first though on my
laptop which already has cvs2snv, websnv, trac which depend on subversion.
The make install for the compiled subversion I think will go into /usr/local/
But I need to "remove" the subversion that was put on via apt-get which is in
/usr/bin/ and /usr/lib etc otherwise there will be clashes and things will get
confusing.
'apt-get remove subversion' would also remove cvs2snv, trac, websvn. I want them to
stay. I found if I use "apt-get --ignore-deps=trac --ignore-deps=cvs2snv
--ignore-deps=websvn remove subversion" it would keep the other packages. But then
how will those other packages know that I have subversion?
Can I somehow put on some dummy subversion package that fulfils the role that the
subverion package did in satifying dependencies of the things that reply on
subversion? What do Deb heads do in this situation.
What I'll prob use is the tigres source compiled one rather than the Debian
package.
