Alfred:
One last question: are there any specific Subversion bugs that you need
fixed? What I'm getting at is that sitting on an old OS platform comes
with some costs. And, for the most part, unless you're being burned by a
specific Subversion bug, why upgrade?
Cheers:
Doug
Post by Alfred von CampeThe reason is pretty simple: we develop embedded software for a 32-bit
platform and compile for both the target (using a cross compiler) and also
natively so we can run unit and integration tests on our CentOS
workstations. Our application is not (yet) 64-bit compatible. Now I know
I can run a 32-bit compiler on a 64-bit host OS, but we also need to
support a bunch of older projects on our 32-bit infrastructure and we
havenât taken the time to qualify them all on x86_64. Iâm in the process
of automating the CentOS 7 x86_64 installation but have hit a few snags
along the way. Eventually (3-6 months) we will be moving to 64-bit CentOS
7 (or possibly 64-bit Ubuntu), but until then we will continue to use
32-bit CentOS 6. So if itâs not too much of a hassle, I would really
appreciate if you can turn the 32-bit CentOS 6 builds back on.
Thanks,
Alfred
You can blame me for the decision to prune out the 32-bit platform support from WANdisco.
I can easily admit to being premature, but I'm finding less demand for 32-bit and really
question why anyone would continue to run 32-bit at this time? If you
could help me understand
then perhaps I can reverse that decision...
Thank you.
Doug
Post by Alfred von CampeWe are not quite ready to move to CentOS 7 yet, but hopefully will soon.
However, I donât understand why the dependencies are different for i686
and x86_64 on the same CentOS 6 platform for Subversion 1.9.X. Up to
version 1.9.4-1, WANdisco provided binaries for both architectures.

Post by Nico Kadel-GarciaPost by Alfred von CampeDoes anyone on this list have a pointer to a repo that hosts the
latest 32-bit (i686) Subversion binaries for RHEL 6? Iâve been using the
WANdisco SVN Repo 1.9 (http://opensource.wandisco.co
m/centos/6/svn-1.9/RPMS), but it only has version 1.9.5-1 for 64-bit
(x86_64). The latest 32-bit binaries in that repo are for version 1.9.4-1,
which are almost a year old.
Post by Nico Kadel-GarciaI tried, some time back, to publish SRPM building tools for
subersion-1.9.x and 1.8.x over at https://github.com/nkadel/. I
eventually had to throw in the towel as the component dependencies for
compiling the latest Subversion exceeded my time to backport and
provide separate, system compatible builds of various libraries. But
you're welcome to poke them and take a shot at getting it to RHEL 6.
I also admit that with RHEL 5 and CentOS 5 obsolete, CentOS 6 has also
gotten quite long in the tooth. Can you update to CentOS 7?
