Yes, but if said bindings application is built simultaneously as part of the same build process as svn--that's what fink's Splitoffs do--then as a user you won't see the difference. The build-time dependencies for _every_ package that is built as part of the build will be installed. You can't build -just- svn in Fink without building _all_ of the splitoffs. So it was a "choice" rather than a "mistake" IMO. It's certainly possible to divide things up differently--we've done it for svn-1.4.x, as was indicated in my post. The penalty paid on the developer side is that there are now more package descriptions for the maintainer to have to synchronize rather than just having one. -- Alexander K.
