Reviewboard 5.0.0 Subversion not working with either pysvn or subvertpy

[Michiel DHont]

I can't get Subversion to work on Reviewboard 5.0.0. According to the documentation it's dependent on either subvertpy or pysvn. The subvertpy library only works with Python 3.5, and I'm using 3.8.16. The only remaining option is pysvn, but when I install it using apt-get install python3-svn I still get the warning "The Python module "subvertpy" is not installed. You may need to restart the server after installing it." I also tried installing it using pip install pysvn. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I'm not sure why the ubuntu package isn't working--that looks correct (perhaps there's a python version conflict somewhere). Confusingly, the "pysvn" package on PyPI is not the same thing as the older pysvn, and is a new package that someone created and managed to claim the name since the original maintainer of pysvn opted to never put it up on pypi.

My suggestion would be to remove both the pip installed pysvn and the ubuntu package, and use our installer script: https://github.com/reviewboard/pysvn-installer
