Hi,
What's the 'supported' state of the Subversion Perl bindings? I sent the
message below to the list a couple of weeks ago, and heard nothing back. A
related message a few months ago went unanswered as well.
I know -- open source project, you get what you pay for, we're all
volunteers, etc -- and that's absolutely fine. I just want to make sure
that my expectations are correct.
And if no one's doing much with it at the moment I might try and dig in a
bit myself...
