The objective is to return to a base build of FreeBSD

Is the discussion going to result in something like
svn-lite that enters into the /usr/src/contrib along with
the responsibilities
associated with maintaining it? And then we need to
take into consideration of being overwriting the "base
svn" with a full svn
package, if required by the user/admin.
The issue involves policy decisions along with ongoing
support load, rather than just a good technical solution;
which as we've seen
in earlier discussions, is sorely needed by the folks
doing the development/maintenance.
In the meantime, ftp isn't really workable for ongoing
updates, and rsync is GPL'ed and can't be in the base
system.
I build svn from ports with all options off except for:
ENHANCED_KEYWORD P4_STYLE_MARKERS STATIC which results in
a 4.2MB svn
program. Suites me but doesn't address the underlying
problem - and I don't think that the plan is to make
FreeBSD dependent upon
the ports system (for subversion)

Hello all,
I'm working on writing a lightweight, dependency-free, BSD
licensed program to pull source using the svn protocol
(not using the aforementioned svnsup code). I've only got
a few more pieces of the puzzle to sort out and some code
cleanup and it should be ready for testing.
As someone who has never contributed code, what's the best
way to submit this code for consideration? Do I just slap
a BSD license on it and post it to the list? Do I first
create a port for it? Also, does anyone know who I should
contact regarding permission to test my code against the
repository at svn.freebsd.org? Thanks.
