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?
