Re: Unknown FS type 'fsfs' when creating new repos

Hi,

What¹s the output of ³svnadmin ‹version²?

It should look something like this:

svnadmin, version 1.4.0 (r21228)
   compiled Oct 31 2006, 19:48:41

Copyright (C) 2000-2006 CollabNet.
Subversion is open source software, see http://subversion.tigris.org/
This product includes software developed by CollabNet
(http://www.Collab.Net/).

The following repository back-end (FS) modules are available:

* fs_base : Module for working with a Berkeley DB repository.
* fs_fs : Module for working with a plain file (FSFS) repository.

Maybe you have an old version of svnadmin somewhere in the path that gets
picket up. And as for ³the great pains of installing², you might want to try
macports (http://www.macports.org/) if you wish to install from source.
Installing gets as easy as ³sudo port install subversion², wait while it
compiles, done.

There are contributed binaries as well on the subversion download page.

I used both methods without any problems so far, but prefer the macports
variant.

Regards

felix
