Re: [viewvc-users] Error with remote Subversion repositories

Phil, sorry for the delayed response.  You've found a bug in some ViewVC
compatibility code.  If you examine the source code to ViewVC, the file
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vclib/svn/svn_ra.py has a section of code
that looks like this:

def client_log(url, start_rev, end_rev, log_limit, cross_copies,
               cb_func, ctx):
  try:
    client.svn_client_log4([url], start_rev, start_rev, end_rev,
                           log_limit, 1, not cross_copies, 0, None,
                           cb_func, ctx)
  except NameError:
    # Wrap old svn_log_message_receiver_t interface with a
    # svn_log_entry_t one.
   ...

See that "except NameError:" line?  I'm not able to verify this at this
time, but I think based on your traceback that that's wrong, and should
instead be "except AttributeError:".  If you are able to make that small
change to the code on your system, this should cause ViewVC to -- upon
detecting that your Subversion Python bindings don't have the
svn_client_log4() function (because it's new to Subversion 1.5.0)  -- fall
back to using svn_client_log2() instead.
