While reading over the book
for Subversion, I ran across a few mistakes, and other odds and ends that needed
to be patched. A few hours latter, they were in their repository. It
always
gives
me
a good
feeling
to
help with open source projects.
While looking over other parts of Subversion, it pains me not to see a Perl SWIG
interface being worked on like their Python and Java ones. This goes way beyond
my knowledge to even attempt. So, if anyone, with the right knowledge wants to
feel helpful, there you go.

I've only started paying attention latley...
I know that if I try to do the SWIG interface, it will be yet another attempt that leads to nothing.;)
I have an upcoming article from Garrett Rooney on embedding the svn library in your program. From there, it shouldn't be too difficult to build a Perl or Parrot extension.

Project Home
Subversion Design Document
Subversion SWIG's README
It's always good to look at their HACKING file too.
I already linked to their book in the journal entry.
Any other documents might be somewhere in their repository. There is also their mailing lists.Re:Got a pointer to the docs?

Hrm. No clean docs, but that's only to be expected. I don't particularly plan on using SWIG, as I'm far more partial to the XS interface, but that's just me.
I'll see about getting a working version of subversion for my OS X box here and see what I can do about an interface module.Re:Got a pointer to the docs?

you can build the doxygen docs by downloading the subversion tarball and using the doxygen.conf in the docs subdirectory. i don't think we have them up on the web anywhere yet though.
