I don't see how this has anything to do with EPEL. Subversion and perl
are core EL product not EPEL.

The specific issue does not ... the concept does (we do things our way
only). But that is not really relevant and I do not want to start a
flame thread with 1000 posts, so I take back my criticism.

Awesome attitude from Mister Joe. I'll take it. Let's get it over with.

And I will take back my counter-criticism as I don't want a flame war..

I've reopened the bug and asked Joe if I could maintain the little tiny
patch in the rawhide spec if he wouldn't.
I hope that clarifies the attitude EPEL and Fedora people have.

Do they really consider backwards-compatibility to be a distro-specific
hack? Sounds suicidal to me.

3 lines in a spec file? It's maintainable, sustainable and not a very
user unfriendly thing to do.

Funny. Suicide is for mortals.

I'd go for the latter. That is how I also deal with
python-devel/python(abi)/python-abi for older CentOSes or xfree86 ->
xorg changes (see the compat package at ATrpms). It is the cleanest
and less maintenance needing solution, as you will not need to touch
the subversion specfile, at least not in this part.
In general I try to package up things for the latest bits of
CentOS/RHEL/etc (which is indeed RawHide, even if it is years before
it shows up as a CentOS release) and try (as much as possible) to keep
the same specfile for elder environments with virtual provides, stub
packages etc.
But a perl-devel stub would be nice for CentOS plus/extras and
certainly for rpmrepo - which should also ship a newer subversion
package in its replacement tagged repos.
BTW did you check Dag's repo for a CentOS packages subversion? I just
did, it doesn't yet carry 1.5.x, but I'm sure if you ask Dag it will
soon do (although I think currently Dag enjoys some well deserved
off-the-net-time).

OK, made an you-should-have-read-the-whole-thread-before-you-answer-
fool out of me. I see that Dag already catered for this. Remove that
paragrpah from the protocol, please.
