What pkg('s)=20 > do I need for svnlite support ? TIA .... Svnlite is in the base system in FreeBSD 10. You can use the devel/subversi= on port instead. The executable is called =E2=80=9Csvn=E2=80=9D. Currently you can also use portsnap (which is also in the base system in FreeBSD 10) to update the ports tree. But it is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.[1] Unless someone steps up to fix this, one of t= he possible scenarios is to retire portsnap once svnlite is in all supported releases.
