Subversion-1.14.3

Installation of Subversion

First, adapt some Python scripts to use python3:

grep -rl '^#!.*python$' | xargs sed -i '1s/python/&3/'

Next, fix building this package with GCC 14:

patch -Np1 -i ../subversion-1.14.3-upstream_fixes-1.patch

After modifying the SWIG bindings like we did with the patch, the build system must be regenerated so the bindings pick up the changes:

touch build/generator/swig/*.py &&
mv -v build-outputs.mk{,.old}   &&
./autogen.sh --release

Install Subversion by running the following commands:

PYTHON=python3                        \
./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --disable-static          \
            --with-apache-libexecdir  \
            --with-utf8proc=internal &&
make

If you have Doxygen-1.12.0 installed and you wish to build the API documentation, issue:

doxygen doc/doxygen.conf

If you wish to build the Java bindings pass the --enable-javahl parameter to the configure command. In addition, if you want to run the Java test suite, you have to specify the location of the JUnit file by adding --with-junit=<path to junit jar> (for instance --with-junit=/usr/local/java/lib/junit-4.13.jar) to configure. The JUnit jar file is no longer included in apache-ant-1.10.14 and must be downloaded separately. To build the Java bindings, issue the following command:

make -j1 javahl

If you want to compile Perl, Python, or Ruby bindings, issue any of the following command:

make swig-pl # for Perl
make swig-py \
     swig_pydir=/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/libsvn \
     swig_pydir_extra=/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/svn # for Python
make swig-rb # for Ruby

To test the results, issue: make check. Four tests in the commit_tests.py, prop_tests.py, and update_tests.py suites are known to fail. Due to changes in Python-3.12, you can expect to see around 200 Syntax Warnings during the test suite due to invalid escape sequences.

To test the results of any of the SWIG bindings, you can use any of the following commands: make check-swig-pl, make check-swig-py, or make check-swig-rb.

Now, as the root user:

make install &&

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/subversion-1.14.3 &&
cp      -v -R doc/* /usr/share/doc/subversion-1.14.3

If you built the Java bindings, issue the following command as the root user to install them:

make install-javahl

If you built the Perl, Python, or Ruby bindings, issue any of the following commands as the root user to install them:

make install-swig-pl
make install-swig-py \
      swig_pydir=/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/libsvn \
      swig_pydir_extra=/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/svn
make install-swig-rb

The java bindings need to be installed in order for the tests to run, since the tests attempt to look for them in CLASSPATH. To test the results of the Java bindings build, issue LANG=C make check-javahl.
