Hi all,
I'm managing a debian based gforge (see gforge.org) installation.
After a recent upgrade, newly created projects works no more.
users use to checkout their repository through
svn checkout --username /developername/
https://svn.gforge.domain/svn/projectname
which uses on server-side a gforge_auth_module which takes care of
needed auth* stuff and
interaction with subversion repository.
repositories get created through following command in a script:
/usr/bin/svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs $svn_dir
The problem arises here:
While old repositories are still perfectly usable (they have format=3),
newer ones (with format=5) are no more. mod_auth_gforge complains
about format=5 and gives up.
I do NEED to "downgrade" in some polite or dirty way the creation of new
repositores.
AND
I dont want to downgrade installed packages.
So i am asking you:
1) may I force svnadmin to directly set format=3 on repository creation?
OR
2) may I "copy" in some way an empty old repository (one who noone never
used) which already has
format=3 "overwriting" the actual new one?
OR
3) Is there any "downgrade tool" who converts an empty format=5
repository to format=3 ?
OR
4) May I compile an older subversion into the same host and make the
script use that one instead?
(this sound a little dangerous to me, since i'm not sure about
eventually other things no more working.)
Thank you in advance for any useful answer
Stefano
