Ok. Let me take a step back . I had few problems getting this setup
running and So I thought that people in this group may find information
that I collected useful.
Apache binaries dont have ldap modules in it so the only way out it is
to build the source. I could not find binaries for either for cvs2svn
or for subersion 1.2 rc . So I ended up compling apache, subversion and
cvs2svn. Compiling source is not my hobby and it was indeed a last
resort :) I guess it is simpler that formatting harddisk and installing
all my software which is much more than subverison on linux :)
I guess this is not a right forum to discuss about OS. I am using
Solaris X86 .
Good to see your opinion
