Re: V7R1 Subversion 1.4

Chris,

our company has ported latest Subversion client 1.7.8 to v5r4, v6r1 and v7r1. For v7r1 we have both versions - with and without large files support, see http://btc.info/en/products/233/

You've asked about Subversion server on IBM i, so I'm not proposing a solution for your original question, but I can agree with Richard Schoen - Subversion server on Windows/Linux platform has much better performance.

-- What are you using as a subversion client? Subversion is now at
1.7.8. The clients and the working copy structure for 1.7 are not
compatible with the server at 1.4. See http://subversion.apache.org/

We were able to use TortoiseSVN to access the Subversion 1.4 repository
in windows xp.

We were also using SVN with Zend Studio 9.
We added the Zend default SVN plugin.
Then downloaded the JavaHL 1.7.4 Win32 binaries and Native JavaHL 1.7
Implementation from the polarion Eclipse Update side
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/u
pdate-site/

By using Native JavaHL 1.7.4 as our SVN Connector we are able to connect
to our Svn 1.4 repository.

-- I'd be interested to know if anyone else is still using the
Softlanding port of Subversion.
I know of at least one other shop that's using the v5r4 version of
Softlanding port.

Keep in mind the server was running fine on our V7R1 box until we
applied IBM's PTF for the Large File Support.
So any machine still at v5r4 or v6r1 can still run the Softlanding port
using the Native IBM i Apache Server.
