The objective is to return to a base build of FreeBSD that performs the expected task of being able to pull source, without having to acquire a port. Regardless of our individual solutions/workarounds, the task is to pull and maintain source.
Is the discussion going to result in something like svn-lite that enters into the /usr/src/contrib along with the responsibilities associated with maintaining it? And then we need to take into consideration of being overwriting the "base svn" with a full svn package, if required by the user/admin. The issue involves policy decisions along with ongoing support load, rather than just a good technical solution; which as we've seen in earlier discussions, is sorely needed by the folks doing the development/maintenance. In the meantime, ftp isn't really workable for ongoing updates, and rsync is GPL'ed and can't be in the base system. I build svn from ports with all options off except for: ENHANCED_KEYWORD P4_STYLE_MARKERS STATIC which results in a 4.2MB svn program. Suites me but doesn't address the underlying problem - and I don't think that the plan is to make FreeBSD dependent upon the ports system (for subversion) Regards, Dewayne. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
