Is this an update to existing package or new package request? New package request
Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. Yes
Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc) Needed to run Subversion on AL2023 against our authorisation system.
This package is part of subversion. I was able to build the latest version of subversion (1.14.3-9) in my copr repo here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/faramirza/al2023/package/subversion/
Amazon's AL2023 comes with subversion-1.14.2-5.
The Fedora version includes the missing module mod_dav_svn. Many of these would not make sense on a server, like subversion-kde.

@Tanoti subversion on AL2023 is built without mod_dav_svn. From the changelog:

You might want to ping Keith at [email protected] and ask for a rebuild with the module include. Or just rebuild the package locally.
I am in the same situtation: Upgaded to al2023-ami-2023.4.20240401.1-kernel-6.1-x86_64 and can't find mod_dav_svn
Pinging individual engineers won't help as much as reaching out through support channels. We look at and prioritize changes based on customer needs and asks.
Personally, I'm amazed there's still any subversion usage, or usage outside of git-svn. But apart from my personal surprise, is there the modern use case to run a subversion webdav server?
I have converted my legacy SVN repositories to GIT.

This SVN instance has been around for a long time and is tightly embedded into our custom tooling. We have looked several times at moving all the projects to git but the effort outweighs the benefit so we are continuing to use subversion.
However, the pressure to move the SVN host to Amazon Linux 2023 has lessened due to an alternative support option for the current (old) OS.
Is there an timeline for implementing the missing mod_dav_svn functionality ?
The mod_dav_svn subpackage was added to AL2023. It was released in 2023.9.20251014.
