Hi Sascha,

thanks for your submission. I think we can include subversion, but there
are some issues with this package:

* The rootfile is missing.

* You cannot use wget or something else that loads data from the
internet, because you cannot be sure that it is online, that the file
still exists on the server and it would be downloaded every time you
build subversion. There are plenty of packages that have more than one
source file. Please have a look at one of these and do it likewise.

* You should probably use --prefix=/usr to install it to /usr (according
to FHS).

* I am not sure if subversion needs a lot of libraries to be fully
functional like libneon for accessing repositories over http://. Did you
check this? Those probably need to be included as well, so that
subversion is actually usable.

Best,
-Michael
