[chora] Re: chora: subversion support, MIME handling...

[Jay Freeman (saurik)]

Roman:

OK, I'm on the Chora list (which seemed like a more accurate fit for talking
about Chora stuff). I hadn't even leard of the general development list
until I got this e-mail. :)

The point about the diff library that was noticed in August was already
fixed in August. :) Is there some other problem that didn't get caught?

Currently I'm still on Subversion 0.26.0. I haven't been at a good stopping
point in the last month or two to dump all my repositories and bring them up
to the new version. I just tested and, at least with 0.26.0, the current
version of Subversion support on Chora's CVS works (well, with an almost
week old version of Horde itself). I might be at a good position to upgrade
soon, remarkably enough... we just did a rather large merge on our 3D engine
code base yesterday so things are going to quiet down for a bit.

Sincerely,
Jay Freeman (saurik)
