 Hello,

 I have a question about this port.  If one wants a client only
 install, and one wants to use https as the communication protocol,
 does one choose the static config option?

 and was surprised to get a full installation of the apache

 but is a full install of apache the only way to get those
 libraries?



 Subversion is one of those you either have it or you don't
 situations, meaning that it doesn't differentiate between server
 and client.  The 'svnserve' binary will be installed either way.

 As far as apr, there is a devel/apr-db42 port available (which, IIRC
 negates the need to install a full apache instance).

 Either way, if you plan on using https, you will need apache20 at a
 minimum (with openssl support).

Thanks for the explanation.  What is the purpose of building a static
binary?  Are all the bits (neon, apr, svn) rolled into one binary?

According to the Makefile:

.if defined(WITH_STATIC)
@${ECHO_MSG} Static binaries will be built.

So, no. Not one binary, but (if I am understanding the Makefile
correctly) statically linked libraries.
