subversion @1.9.7+mod_dav_svn: does not compile with apache 2.4

[douglowe (Douglas Lowe)]

I have updated my OS to Sierra (10.12.6), and installed macports v2.4.2. Now I find that the apache2@2.4.28 package has installed apache 2.4, not 2.2 as I used before.

When I try to compile subversion +mod_dav_svn it fails - see attached log file.

A lot of the file structure of apache 2.4 seems quite different to that of apache 2.2, so I guess that the locations for source files, etc, needs changing.

Perhaps it would be wise to rename the current mod_dav_svn variant as mod_dav_svn_22 and create a new variant mod_dav_svn_24 for dealing with apache 2.4?

Thanks for pointing this out!

No, we should just fix the single mod_dav_svn variant so that it works with apache2 @2.4.x.
