Re: [mpich2-core] blocking SVN clients < v1.5
Hmm.... Intrepid (or most likely surveyor) still has an old svn, 1.3.1. My T41 has diskspace problem (besides heat related problem) that I feel I better not mess with it too much.... Oh well.... A.Chan ----- "Dave Goodell" <[email protected]> wrote:

FC9's svn client is version 1.4.6. Is that OK for old svn client to read/commit to mpe2 or slog2sdk that does not use externals and other new svn features ?
Short answer: No.
The long answer is that in order to be certain that the svn:mergeinfo
property isn't corrupted by a pre-1.5 client we need to prevent all pre-1.5 clients from committing. So you would be able to read (checkout) with svn-1.4.6 but you would not be able to write (commit)
with it. I wish that there was a better way to do this but I don't believe that there is.
The good news is that I doubt upgrading your FC9 installation will be
very difficult. I think you can do it with:
% yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing subversion

You can get 1.4.6 via softenv (not that it's any more useful for this than 1.3.1). I'll file a ticket with the ALCF admins to get 1.5+ installed. If they aren't willing to do that for some strange reason I can always build one for us to use.

Perhaps you should consider a new laptop... I'm not sure that a system where you can't install ~1.5MiB of new, useful software is a useable system. -Dave
