ASCII package installation

Hello everyone,

I need subversion 1.9.* because NetBeans does not work with version 1.10.*. I have work station with ASCII installed and subversion 1.9.* works nice with NetBeans 8.2. C++ bundle.

Afer I installed Beowulf 3.1; NetBeans have weird errors; it claims it requires subversion 1.5 or higher which is nonsesne. Only difference I can spot is subversion release; so I would like to install 1.9.* from ASCII release. How to do that?
Any other ideas are welcome as well but please no javahl and svnkit; they also causes more problems then they are worth.

Thank you,

dice

Re: ASCII package installation

You could start here: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/pack … 5-1+deb9u5

So you have updated to latest stable but want to use oldstable packages?, i think you may run into some dependency issues.

Re: ASCII package installation

I managed to get netbeans to run, but I had to remove all the java jre and jdk packages from the Beowulf 3.1 install first. There were many conflicts.

But if you can expand/extract the pacakges from the ascii 2.1 iso, you may have joy with this list...

Re: ASCII package installation

Thank you both;
I have no issues with running NetBeans. It work on all projects I checked out, but I had to use external tool for repository management; which is far from elegant. Only feature I used not working is SVN CLI tools integration; it seems that NetBeans has hard coded versions because it recognizes 1.9.* and cannot recognize 1.10.* and claims it wants 1.5.* or newer. I tried to configure javahl, and svn but it does not work as well.

I am not fan of breaking system, prefer distro as is; far more people is involved in QA. I will try to build binaries and localize them to directory, if there are not endless dependencies.
C++ support for NetBeans is questionable, so it may be worth considering scrapping it and looking for something else; till then keep ASCII and enjoy while it works.

Thank you anyway.
