Hi folks, I'm expecting to bring Subversion services down on necrotic at some point soon, possibly this evening.
Now that there's a known fix for bug #314381[1], I have successfully built and used a patched Subversion 1.2.0-1 package for client-side operations against the XSF repositories. I now plan to build, install, and test patched 1.2.0-1 packages on necrotic, and if I find no problems, dump and restore the xfree86 and xorg-x11 repositories to get them using xdelta compression exclusively (see the Subversion 1.2 release notes[2] for why). Please watch this list for mails announcing the actual beginning of downtime, and notice of service restoration (or problems, but hopefully there won't be any of those). I'm hoping the outage won't last more than an hour. #314381 was a showstopper for me and was the only thing keeping me from upgrading to Subversion 1.2 on necrotic. Those who have already upgraded their clients should see performance improvements[3] due to various optimizations in 1.2 as well as the new xdelta compression method.

Starting to live up to its name, I think... :) -- G.
