Besides having to register for it, which I've always hated?

See my notes below. The only tricky dependency was grabbing the
apr-util dependency. *BUT*, if you say "yum install subversion" (since
I use yum, which has vastly superior package management to RHEL's
up2date tool and works well with RPMforge and mock and EPEL), goes
ahead and installs the ancient subversion-1.1.x-foo.x86_64 version as
well as the contemporary subversion-1.6.3-bar.i386 version, which
seriously screws up the installation by replacing /usr/bin/svn.

I'll take a shot at the collabnet RPM's, but I expect the same problem.

Parallel package releases for x86_64 are tricky to handle. I'd much
prefer to have a working, 64-bit tool, and we could get it published
on RPMforge as well for folks like me. (I contributed notes to the
RHEL 5 compatible package there.) Otherwise, you've got to put in
stupid things like yum exclude statements for your base repositories
in yum.conf or worse, write them into up2date configuratons for folks
who don't use yum. And that is *NASTY* business.
