Agreed. I am hacking together a solution to put in to our mockbuilder. Needed to
have a working subversion 1.6.x in our yum repo by Monday morning (client

launches apache as root.... It just produced the 1st mod_dav_svn-1.6.12 rpm as I
was typing this email.
Give me ten minutes I will publish the src.rpms...
