I don't know anything about this stuff but Subversion 1.6 uses now sqlite which can be provided by a single header file IIRC. > But you'll need apt-get anyway on e.g., cellphones with CPUs too tiny > for comfortable aptitude use. Right, I have to kill a few processes (such as X) on my OpenMoko until I can use aptitude. Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
