Hi all, Starting last Thursday , we started having builds failing on the Hadoop jenkins slaves due to an "incompatible workspace version" error coming out of our build scripts. EG https://builds.apache.org/hudson/view/G-L/view/Hadoop/job/PreCommit-HADOOP-Build/500/console [exec] svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'src/test/core/org/apache/hadoop/http/lib'. You need [exec] to get a newer Subversion client, or to downgrade this working copy. [exec] See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change [exec] for details.
It seems that the configuration for Jenkins changed from a 1.5-compatible workspace to a 1.6-compatible workspace. Apparently this is changed under "Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Subversion Workspace Version". I asked about this on #asfinfra and Gavin switched it back to 1.5 for me, but wanted to make everyone's on board with keeping it that way. If not, could we please have some warning so that we can install a svn 1.6 backport package on all of our build slaves? Thanks -Todd
