Taking the instruction from manpage make.conf(5) and setting variable SVN_UPDATE to YES, typing "make update" in /usr/src fails due to svn can not be found. make.conf(5) also contains a variable "SUP" containing the path for cvsup or cvsup and I'm desperately missing a similar variable for subversion. Since subversion is a port, it might be so that setting a variable in make.conf(5) conflicts with the BSD policy and logic, but then I'd appreciate a hint like "you need to set the propper environment variable for finding svn in the search path ...blablabla". Using "make update" ends up in "svn not found". Typing manually "svn -r HEAD" in /usr/src as it is shown when the make update fails works well, since the shell's environment PATH variable knows /usr/local/bin to look for. I also file a PR not letting this getting forgotten, please close it, if it is obsolete.
