Thanks for doing something! Although it came as a surprise (and seems to have broken mips), I have found the developer load for svn isn't building it once (that's easy, even if it does bring in the kitchen sink). The problem comes when I update some OTHER port that updates pyhton or something and boom, svn is busted until I rebuild it....
