Description:

Hi folks,

When we updated Beyond Linux From Scratch to SWIG-4.0.0, we noticed that there was a problem with subversion's build procedure. It tries to use the '-classic' CLI option in SWIG that was originally for Python-2.2 bindings. I noticed that you guys generate the python bindings to Subversion as well, so I figured I'd share my experience here with you.

To fix this, we are implementing a sed to remove the -classic option:

sed -i /-classic/d build_outputs.mk

This seemed to fix the FTBFS for us. When you update to SWIG-4, this might come in handy.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Subversion-1.12.0 and SWIG-4.0.0 (SWIG not updated in Arch yet)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

1) build Subversion-1.12.0 with SWIG-4.0.0
1a) build will fail due to removed CLI option in SWIG

I hope this helps you guys out if you need to do a rebuild of subversion with SWIG. I also hope this is the right place to let you guys know about this, and if it isn't, I apologize for the noise.
This task depends upon

Your sed actually removes the entire line, so no python bindings are compiled at all. If you really just remove the -classic flag, there are many further failures with
"error: ‘svn_argnum_swig_obj’ undeclared"

I'm raising this to high/urgent as its holding back an unauthenticated remote DoS fix
