Oh ... I seem to have misunderstood the issue. So it's actually even worse and the tests are held hostage to a depenency build. Would there be a way to completely detach the building of dependencies from building and testing Subversion? E.g., the dependencies could be installed to a more presistent location and only rebuilt if their sources changed. -- Brane
