No. Subversion is a large system, with a ton of dependencies, and there's basically _nothing_ to gain by having to spend extra effort trying to keep an imported version up to date. Having svn-X.0 in the source tree, imported at great expense of time and effort, will provide exactly _zero_ benefits if the underlying format of the repository changes (like subversion likes doing really often). On the other hand, installing subversion from the ports or even from the precompiled packages is always going to work, and we're always going to have a port for it as long as it's a tool that's required to work with the source tree of the system. > Is the new pkg system going to totally replace the pkg_ system in the > base 9.2-Release? I think so. But I have to check to be sure.
