What pkg('s) > do I need for svnlite support ? TIA .... Svnlite is in the base system in FreeBSD 10. You can use the devel/subversion port instead. The executable is called “svn”. 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 the possible scenarios is to retire portsnap once svnlite is in all supported releases.
