Package: subversion Version: 1.6.12dfsg Severity: important Tags: patch Out of the box, the Python bindings for Subversion are not compatible with Python 2.7. The reason is shallow but mysterious - some tests fail when run against Python 2.7. I have contacted upstream but have not heard about any resolution, so attached is a patch that simply disables the affected tests when run with Python 2.7. I'll note that Fedora did something similar (disabled the tests) but in a different way since they did not need to support both Python 2.6 and 2.7 at the same time.
