I’ve been running SVN 1.2.1 forever. Now I need to rebuild it to generate updated Apache modules for Apache 2.2.

In /usr/ports/devel/subversion, I do a make deinstall to remove the old version, and a make install WITH_MOD_DAV_SVN=yes WITH_PERL=yes WITH_PYTHON=yes WITH_RUBY=yes WITH_JAVA=yes to build the Apache module that exposes the SVN repository for WebDAV over HTTP, and bindings for all the major languages.

Ack. First problem:

You should build `www/apache22' with db4 support to use subversion with it.
Please rebuild `www/apache22' with option `WITH_BERKELEYDB=(db4|db41|db42)' and try again.

Or you can disable db4 support. Only 'fs' repository backend will be available.
To disable db4 support, define WITHOUT_BDB.

My respository is an ‘fs’ type, which is more stable. So, I can live w/o BDB. I certainly have no desire to compile Apache again.
