for some time i participate in a small group of people packaging
subversion for solaris within the opencsw project. while we love to
use subversion a lot because it easily scales to terabytes of data
managed, we continue to have two problems building, for years now:

1. client build
personally i find it particularly difficult to separate out a "common
build", and "client build" and "server build" which both may depend on
it.

2. comlicated build
the build itself is so complicated that, since i can remember, we
continually fail to package a current version of subversion.

what would be a good way to address this in your opinion? would it be
possible to switch the build system to something easier to handle and
introduce proper dependencies?

kr, rupert.
