#98 ch06: How to find whether your client/server does SASL

Chapter 6 -> "svnserve, a Custom Server" -> "Using svnserve with SASL" states "you'll have to check with the package maintainer"... if you want to know whether your client or server has SASL built in, when in fact, "svn --version" and "svnserve --version" states whether SASL was built in.

(I do not know how to do this in Tortoise)

... To check on the build or ask a package maintainer is difficult. But checking svn --version is quite easy.

Yup, 'svn --version' does reveal this:

Just saw this change in rev 3910. However, now it says "The Subversion will report the availability of Cyrus SASL...", although I think it is meant to refer to the command-line Subversion client specifically, or even the pre-built Subversion binary.

Doh!  I meant "the Subversion command-line client".  Fixed in [r3912].
