mirror a remote svn
 

anyone got an idea on how to easily create a mirror of a remote svn server?
i'm afraid that the svn version is old (the remote svn), and as far as
i know only version 1.4 has svnsync command,
i tried searching the net and found some scripts (shell and perl)
but i couldn't run those successfully. and im not sure if i could use rsync,
i'm using slackware11 full install but no kde,
by the way i found a perl module (SVN::Mirror) but i couldn't install it,
i tried installing it via perl's CPAN module but it has a problem,
i guess a required module is not available, it was SVN::core and SVN::Simple::Edit,
i don't know where to find those,
if anyone has done this before please help me, thanks everyone...

While you didn't do this intentionally, talking about errors will not help. Posting (exact) errors may. If you don't / wan't / can't maybe try SVN::Mirror from a "perl -MCPAN -e shell"?

svnadmin hotcopy $path_to_repo $new_location

or

svnadmin dump $path_to_repo > $somefile.dump

I'm not sure if you need write permission to use these though.
