I'm having difficulty getting bzr to work with the bzr-svn plugin. > bzr plugins Unable to load plugin 'svn' from '/gsa/watgsa/home/b/j/bjn/.bazaar/plugins' I attempted to follow the instructions in http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrForeignBranches/Subversion. In particular, I tried to get appropriate versions of the software. > bzr --version Bazaar (bzr) 0.17.0dev0 (I also tried the released 0.16 version). I wasn't sure if the SWIG comments on the web page applied only to Subversion 1.4.3 or to 1.5 also, but I got an appropriate version and built it: > swig -version                                                                                                             SWIG Version 1.3.27 > python --version Python 2.5.1 > svn --version svn, version 1.5.0 (dev build) svn 'make check' runs clean. And I got bzr-svn by running bzr branch http://people.samba.org/bzr/jelmer/bzr-svn/bzr.dev/ svn I tried installing both systemwide and from my plugins directory. The only part of this process that raises my suspicions is that the SWIG 'make check' doesn't run the Python tests cleanly. I get many messages about invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char*' and warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type But subversion 'make check-swig-py' runs OK: Ran 79 tests in 25.890s OK I apologize if I missed something obvious in the instructions. Thanks for your help!
