Hey Isak,

Thanks for catching that item for me. What you are describing is that
the backend.template is looking for a function that does not exist
before svn/1.2.5. I can add a version check for 1.2.5 and api target
1.2 to enable this function if the package metadata is proper. I think
your 2) can happen without issues unless you see further items.
Realistically, I might not have the EULA support at runtime but the
support code makes that available so no other template changes will be
needed.

I will probably add this new check later today.

Enjoy,
Curtis
