I had an old redhat 7.3 box running with subversion 0.23.x (self-compiled
from trunk) and BDB 4.1. what i did was dumping the existing repositories
using
svnuser $ svnadmin dump /path/to/repos > repos.svn.dump
then on a separate box where i setup gentoo 1.4rc4 using subversion 0.24.1
from ebuild i did
svnuser $ svnadmin create /path/to/repos
svnuser $ cat repos.svn.dump | svnadmin load /path/to/repos
and then (after reading the svn-book) i also tried
svnuser $ svnadmin create /path/to/repos
svnuser $ svnadmin load /path/to/repos < repos.svn.dump
to see if 'cat' could have been the problem.
Apache was not running when i did any of those steps.
then i started apache, and i called the repositories url in the browser -
after reloading the file list the error came up.
After i wrote this email i tried to reproduce the error again by recreating
the "test" repository from its dump file (it exists to let developers try
seldom used features like branching, attribs,... before they mess with the
real repos, so there's a lot crazy stuff in it). It worked now w/o problem,
the only thing that changed from yesterday is that i added mod_php support
to apache.
Yesterday i did that procedure many times with all repositories and it
always failed - seems like the bug has vanished somehow and only existed on
my machine ;) I have no idea what it was. When i find enough time i will
kill the redhat box and setup gentoo there and redo my gentoo setup steps.
conclusion: bug does no longer appear, i have no idea what happened,
subversion is running w/o problems and i should better not share my
problems unless the repositories are really f_cked and i cannot repair them
;-)
Yours
Mike
