I'd *just* gotten subversion 1.6.1 working, and now 1.6.2 popped out today. (Sigh.) One question I'm finding for compiling on RHEL 5/CentOS 5 is how to handle the SQLite version 3.x dependency. It requires a more recent version than RHEL 4 and 5 provide, but leaves in a hook to put in the sqlite3.c file from the 'sqlite-amalmagation' source. I'm unsure whether to simply copy in the file and use it for all Subversion compilation (which is easiest), or bring in the tarball for sqlite-amalgamation (which is cleaner, but makes the SRPM unnecessarily bulky), or simply say "update the SQLite package, darn it!" and provide a new SQLite package, which could cause problems with system level components that expect the older library. The problem probably doesn't occur with recent Fedora releases and their newer SQLite 3.x. I sort of favor the 'include the tarball approach, and simply include it in all cases for Subversion compilation to avoid system software dependencies, but would welcome insites. If I'm going to exclude it from systems such as Fedora 10, I'd welcome a bit of insight into how you wonderful RPMforge folks set the compilation settings for your different OS packages. The only option I see is to include the tarball. "update the SQLite package, darn it!" is not an option at all since to much depends on it (perl, yum, rpm and many more). Taking only the one source file you need seems somewhat awkward to. I will review all the different spec file we got and put a 1.6 release in the test repo later.
