ore.recipe.svnlib

A Recipe for downloading and compiling the python subversion libraries, this is recipe is based on the zc.recipe.cmmi, and accepts all the same recipe options. it downloads and compiles a subversion release, additionally it executes the commands to compile and install the python subversion bindings. This recipe assumes the usage of a python with developer headers, and a swig installation, both can be passed in via the extra_options section, if you have installed them in custom locations or via buildout.

a note of caution regarding python subversion bindings, releases prior to 1.5.0 have memory leaks in the bindings api.

an example buildout part, and another part which uses it to construct a python interpreter with the svn python bindings:

[subversion]
recipe=ore.recipe.svnlib
url=http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.2.tar.bz2
extra_options=--without-apxs

[python]
recipe=zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
interpreter = python
extra-paths =
  $[subversion:location}/lib/svn-python
