You'll get to do this anyway. If ports isn't already ported to your
platform, porting it
will give you a set of Makefiles that /almost/ work for Linux on z. It's
really faster to fix the
Makefiles and check them into the Open Source world than to spend your
time manually
downloading the dependencies and figuring out the ./config arguments, except
where you are forced to do so in order to make an almost-pertinent
Makefile correct for z.
So if ports ain't ported to your favorite Lin on Z that's the best use
of your time, /even if
what you are trying to do is build Subversion once/. Because the partial
automation, the
dependency tree, is 99% correct out of the box for your platform and is
a fabulous time
saver for prodigal dependency trees //like that of Subversion.
*It's not an economic use of one's time* now that porting is automated.
I meant "economical" of course. Excuse me.
