Bug#97234: Debian Packaging of Subversion

[David Kimdon <David_Kimdon@alumni.hmc.edu>]

Hi all,

As you can see subversion has some dependancies that aren't yet in
Debian.

Things we are waiting on include :

1. Berkeley db 3.3 - a bug has been filed (http::/bugs.debian.org/109853)
I have been building with the preliminary packages on
people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/.

2. apache2.  Daniel Stone and Thom May are working on that, we've been
working together to make subversion and apache2 play well together on
Debian.  I don't know when apache2 will be uploaded to unstable.  Last
I heard Daniel didn't want me to give out the deb line until he finds
a better place to mirror it, (still true Daniel?)

Subversion will make its way into Debian shortly after these
dependancies.  With this mail I am poking the respective maintainers
to see where we stand.

Thanks for the interest!  I hope that clears things up,

-David
