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.

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?

Sure, I’ll add the configure option. IMHO this is fine because it sticks to
previous behaviour. Currently /opt/csw/etc/subversion/config is not part
of the package. Usually OpenCSW ships default configuration files but this is for historical
reasons not the case for subversion so I would skip the example.

My plan is to rebuild subversion now with the extra build option and release
the version after some testing. After that I’ll give the updated APR and
64 bit subversion a try.


Best regards
