When i first decided to move to subversion, it wasn't in the -stable
version of Fink and I more or less wrecked my Fink install trying to
swap to -unstable. I then tried to compile from source and got it
working after I expunged all versions of Berkeley DB from my system
except 4.2. I've since upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.0.4 to 1.1.0 rc2 to
1.1.0 to 1.1.1 with only the library issue I mentioned which I believe
is a BSD quirk.

I do have a BDB repository on my Mac OSX laptop which I use for sandbox
testing only. It currently has only 10 revisions in it, so I've never
seen a bdb corruption. My main repo is on a Linux box and that is rock
solid so far, touch wood. If I was starting now I'd use FSFS mainly
because Sleepycat seems to have a policy of breaking compatibility with
every dot release :-) .
