[gentoo-user] subversion 1.4.x still 'unstable'

[gentoo-user] subversion 1.4.x still 'unstable'

[Daevid Vincent]

I see on the tigris site that 1.4.2 is the latest version, but portage shows
1.40 as the latest ebuild (which is also ~x86).

http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=subversion

The problem I'm running into is that I use the TortoiseSVN 1.4.x on my winXP
box which is mounting via samba my SVN checkout on the linux box. That has
1.3.1 on it. When I try to do any svn commands from the command line on
linux, it tells me my version is too old.

So... Anyone using the masked 1.4.0 ebuild? How is it? Any ideas on when it
might be marked stable? Usually it's like 30 days or so right, and this
seems to be in there for over 60 days now... And what about a 1.4.2 ebuild?

  +files/subversion-1.4-db4.patch, +subversion-1.4.0.ebuild:
  A new upstream major version. This version introduces a number of big
changes. 
  The most significant is that there is a new working copy format that is 
  transparently updated. It can however not transparently downgrade!

Why don't you just checkout a fresh copy on your XP box?
It's not like you can't work on two different working copies at the same time.
