I recently upgraded SVN and this landed me in all kind of trouble as It turns out there is a bug using subversion 1.7 with NFS <4 that prevents us from checking out repositories onto machine. Both the NFS mounted home and the lustre workspace are impossible to use to check out a working copy. Online solutions suggest either upgrading the file system to NFSv4 (probably not the best fix for this problem) or downgrading subversion to 1.6.
but i am not able to downgrade SVN to 1.6.
PS: I dont have yum properly configured i need to un install or downgrade using sources please guide me accordingly .
Downgrade SVN 1.7 to 1.6
Downgrade SVN 1.7 to 1.6
Source installs are neither encouraged nor supported. The correct way to revert to svn 1.6 is to uninstall the 1.7 copy that you installed (wherever you installed it, hopefully somewhere like /usr/local and not in /usr) and then run `yum install subversion`. If yum does not work, then we can help you to get it working.
