I have no objection to you adding svn 1.6, but I'm curious why. I know this request is beyond our documented norms, but it would be nice to expand the comment in DESCR to note that 1.6 is not the upstream-recommended version, explain why 1.6 is useful/necessary (is there something wrong with 1.7? is this just for people in managed environments who haven't decided to upgrade?), Where I'm coming from is that I see pkgsrc as doing two things for users: one is wrangling builds so that 'make package-install' is all it takes, and the other is making choices about what version is in the best interests of the broad user base. In the subversion case, it took a while to figure out what the recommendations are, but I found: https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/ which says basically that 1.7 is current and 1.6 is security fix only. (I'm posting this in public only because I think pkgsrc in general would benefit from having this kind of guidance in DESCR, whenever there are multiple pacakged versions.)
