FreeBSD port?

I went looking for a FreeBSD port of pysvn and didn't see
one.  Is 
anyone out there working on one?

Also, the software doesn't build on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE fresh
from the 
box.  The error is "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find
-lresolv".  FreeBSD doesn't 
have -lresolv, it's rolled into libc as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

Jack.

I would expect pysvn to work fine under FreeBSD although I
have not
tried it myself.

I compiled pysvn on many UNIX platforms.
It is running fine on Linux, Solaris and IRIX for example.
I had to tweak the link lines a little (remove -lresolv and
others
that were neither needed nor available).
Try removing the -lxxx parameters from the link line that
cause error messages and see how far you get.

Apparently the person who wrote the makefile thought it
would work fine 
but didn't try it themselves, either.

I can tinker with it, but what I was asking was whether
anyone had a 
FreeBSD port of pysvn, because this kind of tinkering would
have been 
done as part of the port process and then I wouldn't have to
reinvent 
the wheel.

Thanks!

No, sorry.

Patching Makefile after the "python setup.py
configure" step worked
for me. Delete -lresolv and type make and everything goes
fine, I can
run my pysvn scripts.

(Same FreeBSD version, 6.2, Python 2.4.4)

So edit setup.py for the place where it lists the libraries
to link in, 
remake the makefile, and run with it.

I like pysvn as a library, but the build system is fragile
in the 
extreme (as opposed to something autoconf-based, where it
actually 
checks which libraries are locally necessary/available).

I have freebsd 5.3 I've not need to upgrade to a freesbsd 6
here and  
I do test on freebsd 5.3.

I'm not familiar with the auto tools and so do not use them.
But I'd  
welcome a patch.

Mean while I can add the change for freebsd 6 if you can
tell me how  
to tell freebsd 5 and freebsd 6 apart?

What is the value of python's sys.platform?
I get "freebsd5" on my 5.3 system.
