Thanks,
I went ahead and left the installed version at 1.9.3 on the Ubuntu
16.04 machine. Installed OpenVPN on this and could connect to the
server LAN using my usual OVPN file.

With this I could check out a few small projects to test on and I
found that the svn_apply_autoprops.py ran just fine on this.
And if it can do what it is meant to do it seems like a good tool to
use!

However I have now a few projects that have been modified and I wanted
to check what came out, so inside the top folder of each modified
project I ran svn diff <filename> to see what had happened and it
turns out that it looks kind of strange to me....

For <filename>.txt:

svn diff Readme.txt
Index: Readme.txt
===================================================================
--- Readme.txt (revision 16)
+++ Readme.txt (working copy)

Property changes on: Readme.txt
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:keywords
## -0,0 +1 ##
+Author Date Id Rev URL

Here I cannot see that the native EOL I want added is applied...
Instead some property "Keywords" which I lnow nothing about is being
set.

For other Pascal files (*.pas, *.dpr etc):

svn diff BuildModel.pas
Index: BuildModel.pas
===================================================================
--- BuildModel.pas (revision 16)
+++ BuildModel.pas (working copy)

Property changes on: BuildModel.pas
___________________________________________________________________
Added: svn:eol-style
## -0,0 +1 ##
+native
\ No newline at end of property

In this case I see +native, so I assume it means thet the eol-style is
modified, but what does the last line mean?

I have modified the subversion conf file as follows:

[miscellany]
global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a
  *.pyc *.pyo *.a *.aps *.bak.clw *.db *.dbg *.dcu
  *.ddp *.dsk *.dti *.err *.exp *.gid *.gz *.bak
  *.identcache *.ilk *.jar *.lnk *.local *.log *.lps
  *.lrt *.mod *.ncb *.ocx *.opt *.pch
  backup lib dcu
  *.pjt *.plg *.pdb *.ppu *.obj *.hpp
  *.or *.rsj *.rst *.sbr *.scc *.sln *.tar *.tds
  *.tlh *.tli *.trg *.vbw *.zip __history bak *.~* .#*

use-commit-times = yes
enable-auto-props = yes

[auto-props]
*.c = svn:eol-style=native
*.cpp = svn:eol-style=native
*.h = svn:keywords=Author Date Id Rev URL;svn:eol-style=native
*.dsp = svn:eol-style=CRLF
*.dsw = svn:eol-style=CRLF
*.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Rev URL;
*.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
*.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
Makefile = svn:eol-style=native
*.pas = svn:eol-style=native
*.dpr = svn:eol-style=native
*.dfm = svn:eol-style=native
*.lpr = svn:eol-style=native
*.lpi = svn:eol-style=native
*.ini = svn:eol-style=native
*.conf = svn:eol-style=native
*.bat = svn:eol-style=native
*.iss = svn:eol-style=native
*.xml = svn:eol-style=native
*.gld = svn:eol-style=native
*.inc = svn:eol-style=native

Note that the auto-props settings from *.c until MakeFile are just
using the standard settings that were present as defaults in the conf
file but commented out. I uncommented these.
The ones below Makefile I have added myself.

So the Readme.txt is affected by this line:
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Rev URL;

I have no idea what good the second setting on this line really does,
maybe it should not be there at all???

Any advice?
