Subversion under 64-bit HPUX 11.11

Hi,

The following is mostly for Google's benefit. I like posting solutions
when I have them, not only always problems :-)

SVN 1.2.1 builds 64 bit and runs on HPUX 11.11 (11iv1) on HPPA using a
64 bit GCC with the following trivial fix in libneon:

diff -Naur subversion-1.2.1/neon/src/ne_socket.orig.c
subversion-1.2.1/neon/src/ne_socket.c
--- subversion-1.2.1/neon/src/ne_socket.orig.c 2005-07-01

 #else /* Use gethostbyname() */
- unsigned long laddr;
+ in_addr_t laddr;
     struct hostent *hp;

     laddr = inet_addr(hostname);

In an LP64 world 'unsigned long's are 64 bits wide, so laddr gets garbage,
so svn says 'no route to host' for all hosts even those one can
simultaneously ping, which was initially mystifying.

I intend on telling the neon maintainers about this sometime soon.

HTH,
