You mean the one that has 23 build dependencies, and only compiles
on i386? Hah.
This sounds odd. I use subversion on FreeBSD/i386, FreeBSD/sparc64,
and FreeBSD/PPC without too much trouble. The freeBSD port includes
a few knobs to turn of the biggest dependencies, so maybe I benefit
from using those. This is the dependency tree that I have:
subversion-1.1.4
|\__ perl-5.8.6_2
|\__ libiconv-1.9.2_1
|\__ gettext-0.14.1
|\__ gdbm-1.8.3_1
|\__ expat-1.95.8_1
|\__ db42-4.2.52_4
\__ apr-nothr-gdbm-db4-1.0.1_1
Note that I create all my subversion projects as '--type fsfs', so
I don't really use the berkleyDB port. But I thought I'd leave it in
there even though I don't use it, just in case I need to access some
other subversion project which does use it.
I'm still getting used to subversion, but so far I like it. It does
address some of the problems that Mark mentioned. I don't know how
well it would work for a project as large as OpenBSD, but it is now
the "production SCM" for samba.org. So, people are beating up on it
in the real-world for some large-scale projects.
