Subversion Version issue
 

I compiled and installed subversion 1.4.3 on ubuntu 9.10. After installing , I checked the svn version through the svnadmin –version command . It shows like below

hadoopadmin@DcpSlave1:/etc/apache2/sites-available$ svnadmin --version
svnadmin, version 1.4.3 (r23084)
compiled Oct 13 2010, 11:12:51

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

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


But when I am creating a dummy repo using the svnadmin create command . it create the repo structure as svn 1.6.5 . Also I checked through browser It shows subversion version 1.6.5. Also I tried to copy the our subversion 1.4.3 version server backup content on the server, it through the Human error.

why the version showing 1.6.5 on browser? Any body have idea about solve the issue.?.

Hi,

I guess your apache still uses the 1.6.5 mod_dav_svn modules.
You can use your distro's package manager to uninstall subversion and libapache2-svn and then use your compiled modules.

I removed the Libapache2-svn package. Tried to restart apache. apache through error regarding DAV. How to solve the issue?. Any alternete package for subversion 1.4.3 and apache to work.

You should post the exact error you get.

Anyway, ubuntu uses a2enmod to enable apache modules installed with apt-get. you can do it by hand, by copying the dav.svn modules into /usr/lib/apache2/modules and make sure your have a file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf containing:
BTW, why do you want to downgrade subversion?

I am using subversion 1.4.3.I want to migrate all my repo data to one server(running fedora 6 subversion 1.4.3) to another server( running ubuntu 10.04 subversion 1.6.5). i used the dump command to create one dump file. dump file size is 27 GB. After moving dump file to new server, i used the load command to retrieve the data and revision to new server.


after committed the revision 30933 it stops the process and through the following error.

svadmin can't increment mergeinfo count on node revision 0.298.0.t30933-nv9 to negative value -62276514519093008422
* adding path : labels/2.1.4.139 ....

I skip the particular revision through the following method

svnadmin dump -r 1:30932 > mycode.dump
svnadmin dump -r 30934:HEAD >> mycode.dump

svnadmin load /this/is/my/new/path < mycode.dump

But so many revision has same problem.
