David,

I have begun using svn2cl[1] to manage the cygport ChangeLog.  While 
this will only be a dependency for me and not for building from a source 
tarball, this should really be added to the distro.

There are two alternatives:

1) As is done by other Linux distros[2][3], ship with subversion the 
(older) version of svn2cl from the subversion tarball with an upstream 
patch for compatibility with the latest libxml2[4], OR

2) one of us ITP the latest upstream version separately (I have a 
package ready[5]).

Which would you prefer?


Yaakov
