Would anyone adopt subversion?

[David Rothenberger]

Is anyone willing to adopt Subversion?

Since I started maintaining it, my organization has switched to git, so I no longer use it. While I can still build it, it is not easy and taxes my 20 year old C/C++ skills. I would feel a lot more comfortable if someone that uses subversion or at least is more proficient at C and C++ were to take it over.

Regards,
David

Now that the thundering herd of volunteers has died down (irony), can 
you clarify which packages are up for adoption?

I'm guessing at least libapr1, libaprutil1, serf, subversion, svn_load_dirs?

I'll move these to orphaned status (this doesn't remove your ability to 
upload, if you should be so minded, until a new maintainer is added)

Please accept this literally priceless gold star in acknowledgment of 
your efforts in maintaining subversion for the past 12 (!) years.

Thanks for maintaining this package.

subversion, svn_load_dirs, serf, and scons. The latter is the build
system for serf and is written in Python. I've hacked in support for
Cygwin, but I'm not a Python programmer.

Thanks. I was able to build the latest Subversion, so I will handle the
Perl migration for that as well. I'll also upload a new version of
libapr1 and possibly libaprutil1 shortly.
