[ANN] Status of Subversion Fink packages for Mac OS X

To all users of Fink and Subversion on Mac OS X:


As of Fink release 0.7.1 (released 2004-09-20) Subversion 1.0.6 is now  
available as a binary package (stable tree) for Mac OS X 10.3. Use the  
binary menu in FinkCommander to update your package descriptions and  
install or update your svn packages. If you are using fink from the  
command line type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade (to upgrade all packages, or:)
sudo apt-get install svn-client-ssl (to install/update the svn client)

This will install a Subversion client and its dependencies as binary  
packages (nothing will be compiled).


If you need version 1.0.7 it is available in the unstable tree. See
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable>
on how to enable a package in unstable. Please be sure to provide  
feedback (also positive!) to the package maintainers of all unstable  
packages you are using so that they can be moved to the stable tree.

Packages in the unstable tree are (not yet) available as binary  
packages. That means you will need to build the packages yourself  
using:

fink selfupdate
fink update svn-client-ssl

(As a side note: Since all modules of the Subversion fink package will  
be built, you will be asked to install apache2 and other _build_  
dependencies as well. Since they are all available as binary packages,  
you can install them beforehand using the binary update mechanism  
described above. These build dependencies can be removed again once the  
package is built.)


For a list of all available Subversion packages in Fink have a look at:
