Cygwin Subversion Packages Available
You may wish to consider listing the Subversion packages available under Cygwin on your Apache Subversion Binary Packages web page at https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html Cygwin has packaged subversion for at least 13 years since at least 1.4.6 and has a number of binary (also source) packages available for installation using the Cygwin Setup program available from cygwin.com with relevant package summaries available at: https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-devel.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-gnome.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-httpd.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-perl.html1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-python.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-ruby.html1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-tools.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/subversion-debuginfo.html 1.14.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/cvs2svn.html2.4.0-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/git-svn.html2.34.1-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/kdesvn.html 2.0.0-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/kdesvn-debuginfo.html 2.0.0-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/svn-load.html 1.3-1 https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/svn_load_dirs.html 1.9.2-2 Cygwin is an actively developed and maintained volunteer distro to provide a POSIX compatible environment, including a variety of X desktops and many GUI apps, with comprehensive choices of development tools and libraries supporting pkgconf/pkg-config, under Windows, for those who have to run that system, with 12k+ packages (174GB) available from 70+ global mirror sites. Cygwin provides a Unix emulation library, and uses the newlib C library, contributes to its development, and cooperates with MinGW/-W64, Msys/2, Wine, and other projects. Cygwin is used as a Windows host for building many embedded systems, including some by hardware vendors. The Cygwin package build system design is based on portage and simplifies and automatically handles many aspects of packages built with autotools, configure/make scripts, cmake, and other common approaches, from upstreams available from common mirror sites and source repos. The overall approach is managed by volunteer RedHat project leads on sourceware.org servers with many volunteer contributors and maintainers some of whom are well known. -- Take care.

Re: Cygwin Subversion Packages Available
Hi Brian, Thanks for your request. This sounds reasonable to me. One question to consider is if this should be under the Windows headline (which is reasonable since it is running under Windows) or a separate headline. In some ways Cygwin behaves more like a virtual machine running Linux (directory structure, line-endings) than a normal Windows application. I'm out of time for the moment but I'll circle back to the mail in next week unless someone has a different opinion.

[Please CC/Reply All as I am not subscribed: forgot to mention that!] Curl lists it under but separate "Windows - Cygwin" which is similar to their Linux distro listings and is probably clearer: https://curl.se/download.html and would allow for your selection from all Subversion binary packages available on Cygwin to be listed without cluttering the native Windows alternative builds. The Cygwin project icon is available for display on your page from: https://cygwin.com/favicon.ico also as SVG from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cygwin_logo.svg The curl page also distingushes between 32 and 64 bits, which will not be necessary for Cygwin after the next major release 3.4, expected sometime later this year, which will drop official support for 32 bit Cygwin and packages (possibly at the option of their maintainers for some further transition period): https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2021-December/010338.html although most releases and packages from current to ancient times (2003) are still available to download and install on legacy Windows from: http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html and the maintainer already anticipates keeping 32 bit available from there forever (depending on AWS!) -- Take care.
