That's advice to live by, but it seems it just won't work in this
case. We're stuck with openSUSE 10.3, and... I suppose there could
be something prebuilt for openSUSE 10.3 somewhere that has recent
apache and subversion and apr, but if there is I sure didn't find it.
I totally agree that when baseline-ing the OS for a product, it's
better to use something with a longer lifetime, but it's too late to
go back and change that now. We actually were on CentOS for a while,
but one of our partners wanted us to go Novell, and for cost reasons
we went part openSUSE and part SLES. For this, we pretty much have to
go openSUSE though.
Anyway, I've got things built now - I've upgraded to subversion 1.6.4
and apache 2.2.13. It was a little more complicated than usual,
because the apache build had problems with both openssl 0.9.8k and
openssl 1.0.0 beta 3 until I got the next version of apache (which
wasn't available when I started) and threw in a cpp symbol I shouldn't
have needed to set manually. Then apache built against openssl 1.0.0
beta 3.
I got bit by the change in semantics of svn checkout -N, but replacing
that with --ignore-externals appears to be giving the old -N behavior
:) So it wasn't too hard to get past.
-=BUT=-, I've still got the bad peg revisions problem. :(
I'm beginning to think I should take this to the dev list, but it
seems like a difficult to replicate issue unless you happen to have a
copy of our repo, which gets into the issue of whether we can share it
long enough to get a fix.
Can anyone on the list confirm that this is a new issue before I bug
the dev's? It sounds like they're tired of simple and known issues
coming up on-list.
Thanks!
