There has been some discussion but I don't think there was an actual decision taken. So I'm throwing in a suggestion to add the following text to packages.html (just below the regarding "larger collections of software", and before the Centos Linux header): <p>A condition to be listed is to provide "reasonably new" versions. This should be interpreted as the latest patch release of any of the supported versions (at the time of writing: either of 1.10.6 or 1.14.1). The rule will be implemented with a fair amount of flexibility to allow time to release new packages, as well as any considerations regarding the release process. Please discuss at the <a href="mailto:users@subversion.apache.org";>Subversion users mailing list</a>.</p> I believe it is reasonable to accept someone distributing only 1.10.6 since there may be acceptable reasons not to distribute 1.14.1 (for example dependencies that are not possible to build on a certain platform). I added the "considerations regarding the release process" as a way to ignore Linux distributions since they might ship what was current at the time of their release and backport any important security fixes. If it is ok to make the change, I suggest that we let it soak for a while before reviewing and reviewing and removing those not conformant. Kind regards, Daniel
