1and1 had an update. Good. It broke subversion. Bad.
After a short fight with subversion 1.4.6 (which didn’t work) I thought about using 1.4.5. Fortunately that’s pretty straightforward and… it works! So here are the commands for that. I develop on Eclipse using a JumpBox Trac/Subversion server locally. Changes to my Django app and Flex app are stored there. Then I can pull it from outside over ssh. Very helpful. Well… 1and1 is only file hosting. Webfaction hosts the fun stuff.
cd ~/some/src/directory
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.5.tar.gzwget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.5.tar.gztar xvfz subversion-1.4.5.tar.gztar xvfz subversion-deps-1.4.5.tar.gzcd subversion-1.4.5./configure --prefix=$HOMEmakemake install
