[Bug 283468] [NEW] [hardy] kdesvn not compatible with svn 1.5 - please backport (import) kdesvn from debian unstable to hardy

[Andreas Wenning]

Public bug reported:

In hardy-backports current version of subversion is
1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2~hardy2 . This version is however imcompatible with
the version of kdesvn (newest version 0.14.1-1).

Support for svn 1.5 is added in a much later version of kdesvn. From the upstream changelog:
version 1.0.0: * integrated direct support for subversion 1.5

Currently it causes these problems:
A lot of unicode related error message boxes:
"Invalid UTF-8 data
...
(hex: b0 76 47 08)"
When trying to commit kdesvn crashes.

Eg. with hardy-backports enabled fully kdesvn is useless.

I would suggest updating kdesvn in hardy-backports to the version
currently in debian unstable (1.0.4-2). This would fix at least: bug
250544 , bug 268112 , bug 277049

I've done a test build of 1.0.4-2 against hardy-backports and kdesvn
runs perfectly. The test build can be found here:
