21885	subversion-1.14.5 FTBFS with Ruby 3.4.x	Douglas R. Reno	Douglas R. Reno	"While trying to build Subversion with Ruby-3.4.5 (needed to clone a repo from Sourceforge for a data recovery program), it fails to build with incompatible pointer type errors.

I was trying to check Subversion's upstream but their ViewVC instance now requires a username and password, and there doesn't seem to be a way to register. I'll look at other distros later and provide a fix if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

The errors are as follows:

{{{

As well as dozens of others. I've got a complete build log at https://linuxfromscratch.org/~renodr/subversion-1.14.5-fail.log

I was able to work around it on my system by setting -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types, but that isn't acceptable for the book at all. I only did it in a hurry since I need to do a fast turnaround for an old client of mine."	defect	closed	normal	12.4	BOOK	git	medium	fixed
