After spending way too many years of misspent youth trying to get SVN = working (well) on various platforms, I finally threw in the towel, = picked a DVCS and have never looked back. The breaking point was when I = realized it was easier to build Python from scratch on an OS from a = company that uses three letters way too often than it was to even get = the basic portions of the Subversion dependency tree in place. The problem with the DVCS route: most of the tools that allow working = with Subversion require the svn client, or at least the library. Your = milage may vary. All that said, getting subversion to build and work is a good test case = for APE. If nothing else, it is a great place for linuxemu... -jas
