The bug is not in pysvn.  It is in python-pycxx.  From the build log:

/usr/src/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.cxx: In function 'char*
Py::__Py_PackageContext()':
/usr/src/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.cxx:471:50: error: invalid
conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
 char *__Py_PackageContext()             { return _Py_PackageContext; }
                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make: *** [Makefile:170: IndirectPythonInterface.o] Error 1


That declaration should be:

const char *__Py_PackageContext()             { return _Py_PackageContext; }

Either patch python-pycxx to add the missing "const" or build pysvn
with -fpermissive.

Incidentally, the two sed expressions in %build are wrong.  They don't
match anything, and therefore don't change anything.  Change them both
to this:

%{__sed} -i -e 's@-fexceptions -frtti@%{optflags} -frtti@' Makefile

or, if you want to go the -fpermissive route, to this:

%{__sed} -i -e 's@-fexceptions -frtti@%{optflags} -frtti -fpermissive@' Makefile
