Thanks for your careful answers. I've learned a lot.Its weird...in the tools there is an .el file (for emacs). But nothing re: pythonbindings is there. I looked at debian's related subversion tools to get a feel for what tools one might expect (the macports src links for tools was great, btw), and there pythonbindings was listed.W/macports, you have to install a separate port (subversion- pythonbindings).In general, I am wondering what rubric macports folks use to decide how to break up functionality...
It's mostly up to the port maintainer.In the case of subversion-pythonbindings (and the other bindings ports) they started out life as port variants (and logically probably belong there, as the bindings-specific ports end up re-compiling a lot of subversion only to delete it and just install the bindings- specific parts). However, MacPorts aren't currently able to depend on other ports' variants, so if you want a port like 'svk' or 'trac' to work (and be able to automatically install its dependencies), the bindings need to be broken out into their own ports.
