Hello everyone! As the latest packaged Subversion in Debian is now 1.8.4 and it seems that the maintainer doesn't care updating it by now (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725787), I've recently packaged svn 1.8.4 and serf 1.3.2 (which is needed by svn) by myself.
I've never tried to perform any package maintenance, but I would be very happy to contribute these packages to Debian... (NMU?) What are the next steps for it? Should someone (some maintainer?) review it? Source and binary packages are here (add to /etc/apt/sources.list): deb http://vmx.yourcmc.ru/var/debian/ unstable/ deb-src http://vmx.yourcmc.ru/var/debian/ unstable/ The public key for my mini-archive can be taken here (run as command): apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv c9d991da5f98c882 I've taken the 1.7 debian package as a base and removed/added/adjusted some patches. Most tests pass... sqlite query plan tests with sqlite 3.8 were a tricky part, I've added a patch which loads correct index statistics in every SVN working copy database (without that SQLite 3.8 with NGQP didn't want to use indexes correctly)... Bug 722233 may be related to it (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722233) Yet "most tests" doesn't mean "all", and I don't know how to correctly fix those that don't pass - it seems they're not related to build environment (and there are comments like "these values pass, but I don't know if they are correct" in the code). So I've built them with: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" dpkg-buildpackage (Although, Dominik Stadler said in the bug 725787 that all tests passed in his Ubuntu PPA build based on mine one)
