Chugging the kool-aid, readying Subversion
Subversion is now installed on my toy rig in the basement. Straight forward via yum.
I built Subversion 1.3.2 from source on my PowerBook. Straight forward, standard autoconf build:
$ ./configure
$ make
<!-- optional $ make check here; I did this, took an hour on a G4 1.6GHz -->
# make install
Options for SSL support, etc. are all documented in configure --help. I choose to ignore the warnings about not having Berkeley DB installed on my Mac. Seems there is a lot of praise for the Subversion FSFS backend, so I'm not going to install BDB to avoid the warning; BDB comes installed on Fedora however, so to use it or not is a switch on the configure script.
Looking forward to playing with the Subversion support in NetBeans on a few small projects I have tabled for too long.
