(17 Jun 2008, from /branches/1.5.x)
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.5.0
pkgsrc changes:
- Drop patch-{aa,ag,ah,ai,aj,ak}: applied upstream.
- Drop part of patch-ad fixed upstream; only INSTALLDIRS=vendor left.
- Dropped -lib from BUILD_TARGET of ruby/perl/python, not necessary
for ages.
- Add java-subversion package, but: Only tested with sun-jdk6-6.0.5;
maybe it works with other Java, maybe no. make test only works if
you install junit by hand, as it does not seem to be packaged.
