[Bug 520581] Re: Upgrade of apache and subversion now ignores default mime-type

[Maarten Bezemer]

Current version of subversion is 1.6.17, which thus should contain the fix.
Therefore, I am closing this issue.

Title:
  Upgrade of apache and subversion now ignores default mime-type

Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Prior situation is that apache works perfectly with subversion (using
  dav_svn mod). Recently I upgraded to Karmic and that came with a newer
  version of subversion as well. The installation went smoothly, but now
  find the resources served by apache all to be of BIN(ary) files while
  they are text files.

  In my research (http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#binary-files),
  there is a rule that says:

  Subversion treats the following files as text:

      * Files with no svn:mime-type

  That would explain why it worked well before. But I am in the dark why
  it isn't any more.

  For a workaround I can add properties to all existing files, but
  rather won't for it would be a painstaking job, unless some handy
  power commands could do just that. Just to satisfy my curiosity I
  altered one java file where I added a svn:mime-type and as result
  Apache did honour the setting and I was able to view the file properly
  in the web browser (as text).

  Technical bits:

  lsb_release -rd ->
      Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
      Release:        9.10

  apache2: 
    Installed: 2.2.12-1ubuntu2.1

  libapache2-svn:
    Installed: 1.6.5dfsg-1ubuntu1

  subversion:
    Installed: 1.6.5dfsg-1ubuntu1

  I prefer a working default though. Anyone can help me? Is this a bug
  somewhere?

  Thanks in advance,
  Mike
