subversion-devel: request for a new subport

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I would like to request addition of a subport subversion-devel providing SVN client version 1.9 from the trunk version of the upstream repository with occasional updates.

I managed to create a (sub)port by modifying the original port with just the following changes:

name                subversion-devel
svn.revision        1558394
version             1.9-svn-${svn.revision}

fetch.type          svn
svn.url             http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/
worksrcdir          trunk

pre-configure {
    system -W ${worksrcpath} "./autogen.sh"
}

After upgrading to 1.8.x I'm now often experiencing problems with subversion and I would like to have the version 1.9 at my fingertips to faciliate testing.

I create a local copy for that, but it would be nice to have it supported in MacPorts as well.

I don't especially want to maintain a subversion-devel port - so I would suggest that you just create one (from a copy of the subversion port) instead of using a sub-port. If we did the sub-port route I worry that changes I make for the release subversion might break it...

The port is at version 1.9.2 currently anyway so this is a moot point.
