subversion and libapr large files support
Today on a fully updated debian testing installation, I tested importing
some large MySQL .MYD, .MYI, etc files into an SVN repository and it
appeared to hit a 2GB limit somewhere in the subversion or apache
runtime (libapr) code. I sent this problem to the subversion users
list and they blamed it on the apache runtime libapr either being too
old or not having large file support compiled in (message at
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-11/1007.shtml ).
If Ben Collins-Sussman is right about this being a libapr limitation,
shouldn't the libapr package have large file support enabled?
Thanks!
