subversion 1.4.2 is the version in debian stable (= Etch), testing and
unstable at the moment. See
http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/subversion
You can find a backport from 1.4.2 to oldstable (= Sarge or 3.1) at
http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/s/subversion/
It was done by the same debian maintainer...
Enjoy.
Thanks for helping Lior :)
Yhea, I know the new shiny Debian "stable" has svn 1.4. That helps,
and I could probably take the backport and use it on my Ubuntu 6.10
and it will work as well. Great (I've started the upgrade by now so
guess I'll just let it run).
The fact I'm more curies about though is that you as a Debian
developer don't have a straight answer to my main question in this
email. Is what I'm asking such a exotic request? Please don't get me
wrong, there is not a inch of complaint in this reply it's that I'm
amazed that such a simple request can't be answered with "apt-magic
repository php5-gd".
Anyway, I've started looking at the issue. It seem that the real horse
behind apt is libapt (/usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11.0). I
can't seem to able to find any documentation for the API. Now, apt-get
is something the deity(1) team wrote, but take aptitude for example;
did he/they used some reference or do I need to start emailing the
original dev's if something isn't working for me? (I'm looking for a
very quick hack here, don't think I'll be getting any further then
that).
Looking at the apt source apt-0.6.46.4.1/apt-pkg/packagemanager.h and
apt-0.6.46.4.1/apt-pkg/sourcelist.h look like the right way to go.
Thanks for helping.
