py-svn fails to build with subversion 1.7.x

[blueml@…]

build fails with following error messages:

Would updating to 1.7.5 help?

[blueml@…]

No, that alone does not seem to help.

I tried with local copy and replaced the version by 1.7.5 (and the checksums) but now the patch application fails with following errors:

I’ve ironed out a few patch and configure problems with 1.7.5 (at least on Lion), but during build I’m still running into the same types of errors as in the attached log file. I’ve attached my own log file for comparison.

Sorry, forgot to mention that that log was generated with configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2. The default produces similar errors, though.

Turns out that pysvn only supports up to Subversion 1.6.15 (​http://pysvn.tigris.org/project_status.html). I managed to do a successful build using the Subversion 1.6.16 libraries included with 10.7.2, but it fails with MacPorts’ Subversion 1.7.2.

sudo port install py26-svn configure.args='--svn-root-dir=/usr'

Not sure what more can be done on our end, other than bugging the pysvn devs. I suppose we could create a subversion16 port or something.

Is there a workaround? -- robin at likethebird.com

The workaround is to manually override configure.args on the command line, as I described above.

Still fails.

Looking in /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py26-svn/py26-svn/main.log doesn't reveal anything more than -v printout.

I'll try installing svn 1.6.16, and see if it behaves better than 1.6.17.

[robin@…]

Installing subversion 1.6.16 fails. I fetched the Portfile and files/ files from browser:trunk/dports/devel/subversion?rev=76647, whose comment says bump to 1.6.16, cd'ed to the directory containing the Portfile, and

src $ sudo port install

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

So, Larry, I still need a workaround. Not happy with nested workarounds -_-

[robin@…]

Noticed the earlier comment that pysvn won't build with any later version of subversion than 1.6.15.
Trying to install 1.6.15 depends on serf. Managed to install and activate serf, but trying to install subversion1.6.15 deactivates it, activates serf0, and then fails with
Error: Failed to install serf
The log says:

:debug:configure Executing proc-pre-org.macports.configure-configure-0
:error:configure Please use serf0 or serf1 instead.
:error:configure Target org.macports.configure returned: obsolete port
:debug:configure Backtrace: obsolete port

It made no difference when I tried adding configure.args='--with-serf=/Users/robinschaufler/opt/local/src/serf', where I've got the serf Portfile.
Is there some additional magic I need in the port commandline? I'm about to give up!

You might want to solicit help from the MacPorts Users mailing list. Tickets are not support channels.

[drkp (Dan Ports)]

It sounds like this is fixed in the recently-released pysvn 1.7.6. We should probably unify the py*-svn ports and update them.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

A unified py-pysvn 1.7.6 port was created in r96752 so I assume this is resolved. Please re-open if not.
