Bug Description

Binary package hint: subversion

Subversion 1.5.1 is currently in hardy-backports. Subversion 1.6.1 should be backported to Hardy as well.

Tangible benefits:
 - the main reason to upgrade is interoperability with other subversion clients: the format for a working directory has changed in 1.6; a 1.6 client will automatically update it to the new format. Ubuntu's version will no longer work once this happens.
- improved conflict handling
- improved SSL security and integration with password managers

Tools outside of Ubuntu such as Eclipse have upgraded making Jaunty's package unable to work once any of the other tools that have touched the working directory.

I've installed the packages from your PPA and am currently using them. If I find any problems, I'll report them here.

Yeah, the Debian maintainer has mentioned that problem <http://bugs.debian.org/531366#10>. A workaround is to disable gnome-keyring support in the [auth] section of ~/.subversion/config:

### Set password stores used by Subversion. They should be
### delimited by spaces or commas. The order of values determines
### the order in which password stores are used.
### Valid password stores:
### gnome-keyring (Unix-like systems)
### kwallet (Unix-like systems)
### keychain (Mac OS X)
### windows-cryptoapi (Windows)
password-stores =

Am I correct in noting that 1.6 adds three new build dependencies?

That’s right: libsqlite3-dev (>= 3.4), libgnome-keyring-dev, libdbus-1-dev.

This minor update fixes some Suggests: db4.7-util that should be
db4.6-util, and adds LP closers.

It is my understanding that backports bugs do not require / should not have a bugtask on the ubuntu source package, so I am closing that bugtask.

With this package (Version: 1.6.5dfsg-1ubuntu1~hardy1~andersk1), I get the following warning:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm:

   <http://XXX.com:80> XXXXXX

can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible. See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/jake/.subversion/servers'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Store password unencrypted (yes/no)?

I'm using KDE as my desktop environment instead of GNOME. I understand Subversion 1.6 can support both GNOME Keyring and KDE KWallet for encrypted password storage, but requires compile-time options to do this. While I can run the gnome-keyring-daemon as a workaround, could this please be rebuilt with KDE support?
