Description Pavel Procopiuc 2007-12-29 06:49:06 UTC
Recently stabilized subversion-1.4.6 fails to configure being unable to found proper neon libraries. Meanwhile subversion-1.4.5 configures and compiles fine.

Part of configure output:
-------------------
checking neon library version... 0.26.3
You have neon version 0.26.3,
but Subversion needs neon 0.25.5.

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 0.25.5 on this system

or

get neon 0.25.5 from:
    http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
unpack the archive using tar/gunzip and rename the resulting
directory from ./neon-0.25.5/ to ./neon/

configure: error: no suitable neon found
See `config.log' for more details.
-------------------

It seems, that dependency in the new version is kind of stricter than that of subversion-1.4.5. Also neon-0.25.5 is marked unstable in the tree.

After ebuild modification and with the presence of neon-0.25.5 libraries subversion compiles properly.
