svn in requirements-> build leads to errors: svn does not exist

[PatschD]

including "svn" in the meta.yaml as such:

requirements:
  build:
    - svn

gives an error:

└─ svn does not exist (perhaps a typo or a missing channel)

the specific PR: #48343

somebody recommended to replace svn with subversion which made the build tests for linux pass but crash on macos.

the reason i raise an issue here is because this exact example is on your help page:

https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/resources/define-metadata.html#requirements-section

I assume this to be a bug?

The problem is that there is no svn package in neither bioconda channel nor in conda-forge. I'm not sure how this worked before.

[PatschD]

but conda install svn works?

https://anaconda.org/search?q=svn
It exists in many other channels but the Bioconda builds use only conda-forge and bioconda channels.

is there a way to specify others? I would like to keep the build process the same as before if possible?

[PatschD]

if i switch svn to subversion it runs on linux but on osx i get the error: "svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme", which means a lack of "HTTP/HTTPS support for the Subversion (svn) client." i assume others will have the same issue

I am not aware of such way.

You can report the issue to https://github.com/conda-forge/subversion-feedstock/issues
In the meantime you could disable the build on osx via build > skip: True # [osx]
