I have been working with Dagobert Michelsen of OpenCSW to build Subversion
1.14.1 (mailing list thread starting at
http://lists.opencsw.org/pipermail/users/2021-August/010493.html).

Due to my relative inexperience with Solaris I have not been able to
compile Subversion myself so I have had some problems to execute the
complete test suite but I have run the majority of tests and it all seems
fine. The failing tests are because some missing tooling and not because of
errors in the Subversion build.

This was implemented in the main site as r1892681

I have raised this question, see mailing list thread above.

Kind regards,
