I'm >< this close to releasing SVN::Web 0.50. There are several major
changes in this version, the most dramatic of which is that SVN::Web now
supports accessing remote repositories.
In other words, you can have something like this in your config.yaml:
repos:
local_repo: file:///path/to/repo
some_repo: svn://host/path/to/repo
other_repo: http://host/path/to/repo
and it'll work. The work to do this has also meant that the Diff and
Revision operations are considerably faster and more memory efficient. Also, SVN::Web::Blame is now implemented, which I know some people have been
waiting for.
If you'd like to try out 0.50, fetch the code from:
svn://jc.ngo.org.uk/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/branches/svn-client/
and run:
% perldoc CHANGES.pod
% perldoc UPGRADING.pod
% perl Build.PL
% ./Build
% ./Build test
% ./Build install --install_base /some/path
(use the --install_base option if you don't want to overwrite a pre-existing
SVN::Web installation)
Feedback welcomed.

You need Template Toolkit installed, plus a few other dependencies. They should have been noted when you ran "perl Build.PL". Where there no warnings?Re:lots of errors when running "./Build test"

yep, just misunderstood the "You may wish to install the.." part as you-don't-have-to
I will give it a go later after installing the missing modulesRe:lots of errors when running "./Build test"

Now i can see the front page (svnweb-server) but get the following error when selecting my repository
Repository List / web-vj @ r
An error occured

Hmm. Which version of Subversion are you running?Re:lots of errors when running "./Build test"

Hmm. It's possible I've used stuff in the client libraries that's only available in later releases of Subversion.
That would be useful information to have. Would it be possible for you to try with Subversion 1.3.x or 1.4, and see if that resolves the problem for you?Re:lots of errors when running "./Build test"

After a lot of difficulty i managed to install
subversion @1.4.2_0 (active)
subversion-perlbindings @1.4.0_0 (active)
via the 'port' package system. Unfortunately it leaves me with broken perl bindings. Both 'perl -w/usr/local/bin/svnweb-server' and 'perl -MSVN::Client -e 'print'' fails with symbol not found
$ perl -MSVN::Client -e 'print'

IT'S ALIVE
I had two perl installations on my machine which caused some confusion.
Clicking around like crazy now only the diff links ("HTML" and "TEXT") fails:
"An error occured
RA layer request failed: PROPFIND request failed on '/js/js.txt': PROPFIND of '/js/js.txt': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://10.0.0.3:8081) at../lib/SVN/Web/Diff.pm line 165"
Also the diff links always contain rev and rev-1. should the rev-1 be replaced with the previous version that can seen in the table (the revision list can have "holes"). Just a thought.
