> Does the subversion-api-docs-doxygen.conf file come from upstream somewhere?

Yes. We can link into the correct branch/tag of SVN repository of Subversion.

> Requires should be on subversion rather than subversion-devel

People that use this package are developers that use Subversion APIs. It is
unlikely they will be developing software that uses Subversion APIs without
wanting to have subversion-devel installed. It make sense that this package
pulls in the -devel package.

> BuildRequires subversion-devel and the Requires should require the full EVR

Documentation goes into packagename-%{version} subdirectory. APIs of Subversion
don't change mid major release. The documentation in the newer version/release
may be a bit better (i.e. more accurate) but that's not critical for the API or
functioning of the package. That's why release info isn't necessary.

> How are you going to keep this package synced up with Core's subversion?

Well, that is a good question. AFAIK, FE packages are rebuilt by hand. The
maintaner just needs to update the package when required - a situation that is
no different to many other packages from FE that may depend on FC packages that
get bumped up, therefore creating an upgrade problem. This can be fixed like this:

Requires: subversion-devel >= %{version}

Then we can also own:

%doc %dir %{_docdir}/subversion-%{version}

To make sure this directory gets whacked when the old version of
subversion-api-docs finally gets upgraded.

> We would want to include a copy of subversion's LICENSE in this case.

Sure. Again, we can point to the relevant file in Subversion SVN repository.
