I have a legecy subversion database that uses the Berkeley DB for the format. When I load the current Windows binaries (1.7.x) for Subversion, none of the distributions appear to support Berkeley DB out of the box. So, since I don't have a copy of the earlier verion of Subversion, how can I retrieve the data? I don't mind converting to FSFS, but I can't do the initial dump since Subversion isn't able to read it (error message "Failed to load module for FS type 'bdb'.").

Any suggestions on what I can download to retrive my data? Thanks.

You will need to find an older release of Subversion, or find a current build which does support BDB. Getting away from BDB is a wise move.

Try 1.6.x from CollabNet

  • Downloaded 1.6.19 from CollabNet but still get the "Failed to load module for FS type 'bdb'." I'll try to track one down, but not obvious from a web search. Thanks. – doobop Oct 21 '12 at 06:42
  • Just to follow up, I found a version of 1.4.2 stored in an archive directory on our servers. I was able to access the database using this version. – doobop Dec 24 '12 at 14:34
