Another way of approaching that is to say subversion is not-likely to be imported *unless* we can find an acceptable BSD-licensed database mgr to go along with it.

Would svn *clients* need to have apache installed, or is that only needed for machines that hold a public repository?) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
