I'm suggesting that *you* make a snapshot:
- unpack the httpd-2.0.44 tarball
- yank the apr and apr-util libraries out it
- re-tar them yourself, call them 'apr-0.9.2-prerelease.tar.gz' or
something.
- post them somewhere, either on apr.apache.org, svn.collab.net, or
on a private server.
- base your FreeBSD apr ports on those tarballs.
- base your FreeBSD subversion port on the FreeBSD apr port.
I mean, if the apr-snapshot within httpd-2.0.44 is good enough for
Subversion releases, it should be good enough for you Subversion
port. :-)
