Re: [ITP] neon (A WebDAV library required by Subversion)

BTW, there seems to be some confusion on this matter. You don't need neon to see subversion on Cygwin.


Dave's subversion links already contain static libs of apr, apr-util and neon. Sources are also included. The regular subversion release does it ditto.

To have subversion in cygwin none of apr, apr-utils and neon is required. Just the fixes for the server build, and numerous other package problems.

I'd rather concentrate on helping Dave to fix the outstanding subversion packaging issues, than including new packages which are in the default subversion src tree also. This is code bloat and doesn't help subversion.

Admitted, Max's packaging looks fine, whilst Dave's is a mess.

Neon is a WebDAV client library, which is required by subversion.

(Dave Slusher's candidate subversion package currently bundles neon.)

This package would reduce the need for a future subversion package to bundle
extra libraries, as well as reducing the number of from-source required
dependencies when building subversion from source.
