subversion without WebDAV 'http' scheme

[pc@…]

$ sudo port install subversion
$ svn --version
svn, Version 1.4.6 (r28521)
(...)

But this version has only two Moduls: ra_svn and ra_local, so missing ra_dav, which enables http[s] schemes. So ever I try a

$svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk

(an example of how to use svn written on this page: ​http://www.macports.org/install.php#svn ;) ) I get the message:

svn: Unbekanntes URL-Schema für »http

I tried diverse variants with no success. Using the binary form ​http://www.collab.net/downloads/community/ , svn on macosx works with http-scheme. But you know: installing with 'port' makes more fun :) I would appreciate if http would by default be supported.

This can happen if neon isn't installed when subversion is built, but as subversion depends on neon, it shouldn't be happening here.

Can you run 'port installed neon' and make sure it is installed and active?

If it isn't, please activate it and do:

'sudo port -f uninstall subversion' 'sudo port install subversion'

Thanks, now its working !

I had to play a little around, but your focus on 'neon' was the point :)

$ port installed neon
The following ports are currently installed:
  neon @0.26.4_1

So, it seems everything is Ok. But, since I had already experienced problems with 'port' earlier, I thought it would be a good idea to re-install 'neon'.

If it isn't, please activate it and do:

In fact it was described as activate, but was obviously not working. I think that my installation of 'neon' was corrupt. ( In fact, it could be that some of my ports are copied from a former G4-Book, beeing now on intel :o )

'sudo port -f uninstall subversion' 'sudo port install subversion'

yes, this works now, ra_dav is enabled, too :) Many thanks too you.

Replying to pc@anykey.de:

Yes, that would probably be the problem.

'sudo port -f uninstall subversion' 'sudo port install subversion'

yes, this works now, ra_dav is enabled, too :) Many thanks too you.

Excellent!
