Hi,

Thank you so much for your effort!

The build seems to work fine for the operations I checked manually.

I have also executed the test suite in the subversion source archive. I 
have had some trouble building the tooling required (a few C programs in 
the test suite) but I can get most tests to complete and I deem that the 
failing tests are because of this missing tooling and not because of a 
problem in the package.

There has been a discussion in the Subversion list regarding a decision 
to, by default, disable storing passwords in plaintext. OpenBSD decided 
to re-enable plaintext password storage (but having it disabled in the 
default config), primarily to better support servers with only 
commandline. Is there any chance you might consider to do the same?

It is the following configure option: --enable-plaintext-password-storage

And to add /opt/csw/etc/subversion/config:
[[[
[auth]
store-plaintext-passwords=no
in /opt/csw/etc/subversion/config
]]]

Kind regards
Daniel
