Bug 84887 – dev-util/subversion: Install included tools somewhere useful

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Bruce Guenter 2005-03-11 11:02:52 UTC]

The subversion sources include several useful tools (shell scripts, etc) that should get installed somewhere.  I am attaching a simple patch to the dev-util/subversion ebuild to copy those tools into /usr/share/subversion.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Install the subversion tools into /usr/share/subversion

[Comment 2 Urs Joss 2005-07-06 02:50:54 UTC]

Some of the tools provided in tools/ already gets installed:

- client-side,examples,hook-scripts are installed into /usr/share/doc/${PF}/tools (see client-side,examples,
hook-scripts, line 224).
- hot-backup.py is installed into /usr/bin/svn-hot-backup

I don't use anything else out of tools (yet), but I guess this opens the discussion of what else to include...

Unfortunately, this prevents using a symlink or hard-coded path to reference
those scripts across upgrades (since several of them are useful without
modification).

Hrm, didn't see that.  That's good.

It is fixed in subversion-1.5_pre26086 in Eaedificāta Repository.
http://www.ffta.host.sk/Eaedificata/index.html

Installation of extra files is controlled by "extras" USE flag. These files are installed to constant location - "/usr/share/subversion".
