Hello!
At the moment Subversion's Directory entry gives really anemic
impression, and besides that, it also gives wrong information (1.0.4
marked as beta and indirectly as the latest stable version).
So, I think it might be a good idea to contact
<bug-directory@gnu.org>, and ask them to make an update to the
Subversion's entry.
Another options is to wait until 1.1 is out of the door.
I made an initial patch for that reason, and it is located at the end
of this mail. There is a little doc how you could update/correct/etc.
Directory's entries at here <http://directory.fsf.org/help/directory.html>.
You could take a look of the current situation from here:
<http://directory.fsf.org/subversion.html>
BR, Jani
P.S. I don't know for sure and didn't find any docs, what kind of
markup is valid for Directory, but by peering others entries, I guessed
that this should be OK.
P.P.S. You could check out directory's entries with the following
instruction set:
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/directory co directory
