The reason we (Subversion) do not ship binaries is simple: we don't have the resources to meet the request, and most of our users use Subversion as part of a third-party tool, which most often *does* ship as a binary. We've supported community efforts to create binaries, even going so far as to host selected variants on our downloads page, but they are still not considered official artifacts of the project. -Hyrum --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
