Hm, the subversion user mailing lists is full of error reports but there is no concrete patch or a new serf available.

In the list there is a hint to serf r2361 however serf has changed so many code the file cannot be used as drop in replacement.

Since I'm using subversion17 anywhere in production I have no real test case.

Please test the attached patch, build is OK.

PS:
Since subversion18 is the main consumer of serf would you as subversion18 maintainer mind to take over this port?

Comment 4 Olli Hauer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-08 16:55:16 UTC 
The patch was committed,

A quick grep shows there are only three main serf consumers.
- editors/openoffice-4
- editors/openoffice-devel
- devel/subversion (~150 ports depending on devel/subversion)

So to keep response times for devel/subversion short I would prefer to assign
serf to the subversion maintainer lev@ (you) or the ports@ pool.
