It turns out the Berkely DB format that Subversion uses (or subversions use of it) is Endian specific. This means I can’t just move my repository from my PowerPC to my x86. I needed to dump it on my ppc (svnadmin dump ~/subversion > svn.dump) and load it into an empty repository on my x86 (svnadmin load ~/subversion < svn.dump). Bleh.
I've been fiddling with my Microsoft subsidised games console. I've cleaned up the code provided by the xbox-linux project to create a Linux kernel with xbox partition and file format (FATX) support). The patches for 2.4.22 and some RedHat 9 RPMS are available. I'll write it all up soon and provide 2.4.23 patches.
