All that we "broke" was our own website package list. The list that your system sees is accurate. When we next generate a binary distribution, it will have a perfectly good SSL-enabled svn, because we have one in our stable source tree. On the other hand, since the project is extremely resource-limited, it is difficult to do so. Now instead of using bad language, you might consider our "unofficial" binary distribution: deb http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/apt/10.4 unstable main crypto which has binaries even from the unstable tree available. > > >Peter Lampione wrote: > > > Dear All, > > > > > > I have fink version 0.8.1, and it seems that the package svn-client-ssl is > > > missing.
