There are some vetos in the 1.6.x branch that seem like they are questioning the change, not just whether it was a candidate for backport. What does that mean for trunk and 1.7? Here are the items I am thinking of (leaving out the items that were vetoed only because they were not considered appropriate for a fix release):
* r878078, r878088, r878102, r878196 Make KWallet window attached to terminal window. Justification: Without this change, KWallet window can appear behind terminal window and is left after killing terminal. Votes: +1: arfrever -0: peters -1: rhuijben ("/proc/%ld/stat" is ugly and Linux-specific - would just getenv("WINDOWID") work instead?) -1: stsp (I've removed the Linux-specific code from trunk in r1002144 and r1002151, so trunk code only relies on getenv("WINDOWID"). I would +1 a backport that also merges these revisions). * r921453, r927184, r927243 Fix reopened issue #3020 'Reflect dropped/renumbered revisions in svn:mergeinfo data during svnadmin load' Justification: Prior to this fix, when loading a partial dump with mergeinfo, the resulting mergeinfo in the target repository could refer to non-existent revisions or revisions that have nothing to do with the merge source in the original repository. The original fix for issue assumed that the dump stream was for a complete repository. Notes: r921453 and 927184 are tests, r927243 is the fix. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-issue3020 Votes: +1: kameshj -1: pburba (There is a regression with this fix, see http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-03/0716.shtml) * r933194 Fix for issue #2753 SVNListParentPath feature doesn't work when svn authz is used. Justification: This issue is waiting for resolution for more than 3 years. Notes: See discussion at http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-04/0275.shtml Votes: -1: cmpilato (pending results of aforemented discussion) * r879766 Fix issue #3498: Subversion password stores freeze Eclipse Justification: All subclipse users are in great need of this. Branch: Resolves a minor conflict in libsvn_auth_gnome_keyring/gnome_keyring.c where the code changed was refactored on trunk. ^/subversion/branches/1.6.x-r39692 Votes: +1: stylesen +0: julianfoad (reviewed, not tested) -0: rhuijben (needs more explanation: The not-interactive and no callback code paths should be more similar if the code works correctly. I think the not interactive code path needs the same fix). -1: markphip (tested multiple builds of this and never saw it work). NOTE: I included this last item, but I do not think the attempt to fix this problem made things any worse. But the problem it was trying to fix is still a real problem. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
