Yes. And the reason is called apr.

No. And the reason is called apr.

CentOS uses apr-0.9.4, subversion 1.4 need apr-0.9.7, which
isn't
installable without rebuilding *much* of the distribution.

subversion 1.3.2 is available from the rpmforge repository,
though. See
<http://wiki.c
entos.org/Repositories>

Cheers,

Ralph

this issue has been discussed a few times, and its unlikely
that svn-1.4 
will make it into any repo for centos-4, till the svn
developers clarify 
the apr situation. Till then, your best option is to chase
the svn 
developers.

Also you may wish to keep in mind that bug fixes and
security issues
are backported into the same version number, so while 1.1.4
is the
version in the distro, it's not really an accurate
representation, as
it's not the vanilla 1.1.4.

See htt
p://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html for
clarity.

Has anyone tried these RPMs on Centos?
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/
rhel-4/i386/

If so, does it break mod_perl or fastcgi?

Hi,

I have a Centos repository for various security tools and
needed a newer
svn too (and a newer Ruby for Rails but thats another
story). I have svn
1.4.2 and apr 1.2.7 in my repo. To get this to work properly
i had to
rebuild httpd too (which is a backport of the 2.2.3 in fc6).
Ofcourse it
is not extensively tested but it works for me; maybe it
works for you too?

Here's the repo file (just place in /etc/yum.repos.d)
http://www.grond.org/downloads
/source/Centos/RPMS/repofiles/grond-centos-i386.repo

You can view or download the rpms here:
http://
www.grond.org/downloads/source/Centos/



Kind regards,


Rubin.

does this work with everything else that depends on httpd as
well ? eg. 
php mod_python etc ?

what about all the other files that depend on apr ? Also,
what is your 
security fix policy for packages in that repo ?

I hope you make it quite clear that those packages will
overwrite 
portions of the distro, and therefore, people loose the
security / 
bugfix track from upstream.

apr isn't the big deal, but does require that you also
rebuild things
that depend on it as well (apache, php etc). I think pcre is
the
problem.

I'd call rebuilding apr-dependant packages a "big
deal", especially as
you have to do it with each update ...

But true, pcre seems to be the bigger deal.
