You might want to run hook scripts someday, so having Python support can be handy for this. > As previously mentioned the bottom of page > http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html > shows 5 server packages. The differences are just packaging. Any software listed is just someone that has compiled the source for you. Some might have used different versions of dependencies etc., but in general that should not matter. You should decide if you want to just get plain binaries and then configure everything yourself. Or do you want a package that adds additional software that makes it easier to manage. Subversion Edge, the product I manage is one such distribution. It includes all of the Apache and Subversion binaries, plus the ViewVC repository browser. It also includes a web UI to configure and manage the server. There are other similar packages like UberSVN and VisualSVN. You can get Subversion Edge here: http://www.open.collab.net/products/subversion/getit.html > I need a comparison and recommendation which package to select for > a.)

All SVN servers will support all of these clients and more (whether you want them to or not :) ) -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
