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.
