Bug 211686 – dev-util/subversion-1.4.6 - svn_load_dirs.pl script not installed w/ USE=extras

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Jeremy K. Truax 2008-02-28 00:14:33 UTC]

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".

It isn't misnamed. It must be slightly modified by configure.
