[gentoo-user] Subversion 1.2

["Steve [Gentoo]" <gentoo_steve@shic.co.uk>]

I'd have thought lots of people in the gentoo crowd would have been 
eagerly awaiting subversion 1.2.x with its substantial new "reserved 
checkout" - but nothing seems to have moved forward.

Portage (by default) still gives me version 1.1.3... but version 1.2 has 
been available for a couple of months and 1.2.1 a fortnight... I 
wouldn't have considered this a difficult package to port to Gentoo - 
especially as just about every other platform is supported directly by 
the Subversion developers...

I've tried using ~x86 as my USE flag - but the 1.2 ebuild still won't 
install reporting a "Problem in dev-util/subversion-1.2 dependencies"... 
I'm reluctant to use an unstable subverison port as it would cost me a 
fair bit of time if it scrambles my version controlled files.  Does 
anyone know what the problems are and why its taking so long to get 
1.2.x into the default portage tree?
