Hi Aaron,
we have been running with Subversion on our System i for a few years
now. Works quite happily on V5R4.
When V6R1 was first mentioned, I fired off an email to Softlanding about
future support and got an initial response that a V6R1 version would be
released and they would contact Collabnet about changing the "No active
Maintainer" message. Several months later, I enquired again as the message
has not been changed and got this response on 17th April
"Our primary focus is supporting TurnOverSVN and any changes we make for
that may also be incorporated into Subversion for i if they apply. We won't
be committing ourselves to being the sole maintainer of the open source
package, but we will contribute when we can."
So I guess there is scope for someone to carry the torch, if they have time
and resources.
regards

[WDSCI-L] Subversion 1.5 - Where is
i5/OS support?
Please respond to

<wdsci-l@midrange

So I was reading ITJungle this morning and Alex Woodie made a statement
towards the end that i5/OS was supported with the latest version (
http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs062408-story03.html). I immediately headed
over to tigris.org (
http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html#binary-packages) to see if that
was true because I was curious if it was in fact supported. In the past I
have made pointed comments declaring that the page stated there was "no
active maintainer" and that should be a red flag for anyone currently
hosting on their i that doesn't understand how to build the package from
source.
Unfortunately I don't have a contact at Turnover I can ask to see if they
plan on picking it up eventually - does anybody else?
I am wondering if this is something we could pick up as a community as I
would prefer to run Subversion on my i, but right now it is on a remote
Linux machine.
I am curious to know how many people are using their i as a Subversion
host?
