Problems getting things to work on Mac OS X

[Michael Conrad Tadpol Tilstra]

OS version is 10.4.8, XCode is 2.4.1, using macports. Wrote custom portfiles for: bazaar-ng 0.12, subversion 1.4.2 with patches from debian, and subversion-pythonbindings 1.4.2 with same patches from debian. All other dependancies came from default portfiles.

Then branched bzr.svn from http://people.samba.org/bzr/jelmer/bzr-svn/bzr.dev

running bzr selftest svn, fails, errors all look something like:

So the above backtrace is a bit wrong.

I learned that debian and ubuntu package patches are nested patches. Just applying the patch doesn't do any good, because it just created a directory with lots of stuff. Including the patches I thought I was applying the first time around. Right. stopped trying to do things that way.

Also, I'm pretty sure that getting this plugin working is mostly getting subversion patched right for the python bindings.

So I ended up starting with the patch from: http://librarian.launchpad.net/3263702/python-fixes.patch and getting that to apply to svn 1.4.2. but now when I run make check-swig-py, python drops core. It is doing this in the client tests.

just sorta an update, i guess. If someone wants the patch I'm working with, let me know.

The backtrace of the cored python.

Reassigning to Subversion, as this is not actually a bzr-svn problem but
with one of its dependencies.
