Hi, Well, as I said, it works for *me*. I haven't extensively tested the effects of the httpd update because I don't have the means to do so. I just really needed an up-to-date svn. I tend to update my packages when there is a security issue that needs to be fixed in one of the apps that I (re)packaged. I haven't encountered strangeness with the newer apr in combination with other packages in the main repos that depend on it. Again, this is not heavily tested. The reason I posted is because someone seems to need a newer svn and I thought my small contribution could save him/her some work. If someone would be (rightfully so) concerned with replacing a package, he/she could always download the srpm(s) and deal with it as a local customization to the distro. Regards, Rubin.
