I've been keeping the lights on in this package for years since the maintainer

If someone steps up to fix the FTBFS, I'm willing to hang on as a comaintainer,
but if no one does, I'm going to orphan it completely in about a week.
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; }
I think Boost.Python needed a similar change to build with Python 3.7
Either patch python-pycxx to add the missing "const" or build pysvn
with -fpermissive.
Please fix the code, don't use -fpermissive (it turns off loads of
rules in the C++ compiler, so is a sledgehammer to crack a nut).
