Bug#802356: Latest version (1.8.11) fails to build

[TMate Software Support]

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for reporting this issue! So far I have no idea why it fails to
compile.

The error being reported is:

 [javac] /build/svnkit-1.8.11/svnkit/src/main/java/org/tmatesoft/
> svn/core/internal/wc2/ng/SvnDiffGenerator.java:524: error: no suitable

The method reported as not found is part of the 'sequence' library SVNKit
uses, particular version of this library
'de.regnis.q.sequence:sequence-library:1.0.3' referred from build.gradle
build file and this version of the library does include this method.

Could you please provide some more information on your environment? What
JDK do you use to compile SVNKit? What is the exact command you use to
build SVNKit?

And finally how do you obtain SVNKit 1.8.11 sources?

Until recently there were no '1.8.11' tag in SVN repository, now it is
there at http://svn.svnkit.com/repos/svnkit/1.8.11
Might that cause the problem?

Thanks!
