When installing subversion, some scripts are left out even when using the 'extras' USE flag. One such script is svn_load_dirs.pl which in the source, can be found in: contrib/client-side . I did notice that some of the client-side scripts are copied over and I know that some other scripts from hook-scripts are copied over if the 'extras' USE flag is in use. This script svn_load_dirs.pl is mentioned in the SVN book here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.html#svn.advanced.vendorbr.svn_load_dirs I had to get the script myself by unpacking the src. So just a suggestion to include it and maybe a few more of the scripts found in that contrib/client-side folder. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =dev-util/subversion-1.4.6 2. find /usr/share/subversion -iname svn_load_dirs.pl Actual Results: svn_load_dirs.pl wasn't found. Expected Results: svn_load_dirs.pl having been installed.
Well, that's because it's "misnamed" in the tarball (svn_load_dirs.pl.in) and so wiped accordingly. I don't see any obvious way to 'make' this stuff and not break tons of other things.
It is installed with USE="perl" as "svn-load-dirs". (In reply to comment #1) > it's "misnamed" in the tarball (svn_load_dirs.pl.in) It isn't misnamed. It must be slightly modified by configure.
dev-util/subversion/subversion-1.4.6.ebuild:src_install(): if use perl ; then newbin contrib/client-side/svn_load_dirs.pl svn-load-dirs fi rm -f contrib/client-side/svn_load_dirs.pl
