Is this thread from 7th/11th June 2006 still relevant? How can I go about

I'm using openpkg-2.20061018 on Solaris 8/SPARC.
AFAIK until now nobody has investigated on how to get mod_dav_svn.so
building in the "subversion" package. Feel free to come up with a
"with_dav" build-time option which provides this functionality in a
portable way.
We don't use openpkg much in our environment. For this specific project, I
tried openpkg to avoid manual compilation of the dependencies, and
hopefully save time 8-)
Since it's been a while since I played with openpkg, it will take some
effort to get myself up to the point where I can attempt this. I'm afraid
after spending the whole weekend on this, I don't know if I can devote any
more time to it 8-(
But in practice you usually don't need mod_dav_svn.so: for commit access
via svn://<hostname> one can just run the plain "svnserve" (which is
supported out-of-the-box by the "subversion" package) and for Web
browsing via http://<hostname> one can install "cvstrac" (the cool
application you see running under cvs.openpkg.org, too) which also just
fine supports Subversion repositories (actually it works with Subversion
even better as with CVS due to the global revisions in Subversion ;-)
apache + mod_dav_svn gives us more flexibility in terms of clients, user
authentication (LDAP is important), etc. Admittedly, I don't have much
experience with svn, but this is my general impression of how I should set
it up based on discussions with our developers.
I was looking at trac for some of the functionality outside of pure source
code management/browsing, but I will take a look at cvstrac as well.
Thanks,
