Bug 127626 – subversion-1.3.0 needs neon-0.25.4 which is not in portage

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Miroslav Šulc 2006-03-26 03:58:23 UTC]

From compile:

configure: checking neon library
checking neon library version... 0.25.5
You have neon version 0.25.5,
but Subversion needs neon 0.25.4.

An appropriate version of neon could not be found, so libsvn_ra_dav
will not be built.  If you want to build libsvn_ra_dav, please either
install neon 0.25.4 on this system

or

get neon 0.25.4 from:
    http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.25.4.tar.gz
unpack the archive using tar/gunzip and rename the resulting
directory from ./neon-0.25.4/ to ./neon/

no suitable neon found

Please sync your tree and try again. This bug has been fixed some time already.

I synced today morning. I created neon-0.25.4 ebuild in my portage overlay to work it around.

It also works with 0.25.3. The subversion warning is unspecific. I still believe you have the wrong ebuild. Perhaps try a different rsync server.
The md5sum should be:
md5sum subversion-1.3.0.ebuild
3aef11771055c932add284e1c7a30a17  subversion-1.3.0.ebuild

Could you verify the existence of 
/usr/portage/dev-util/subversion/files/subversion-neon-config.patch

If your rsync server is broken, it would be useful to know it's name.

[Comment 4 Miroslav Šulc 2006-03-26 06:57:36 UTC]

I found the problem. I have axxo-overlay installed and portage uses subversion ebuild from it (and that one misses the patch). So the problem is not in public portage but in axxo's overlay.

Thank you for help.
