Created attachment 167392 [details] patch against /usr/ports/Makefile Hello, like raised on the mailinglist: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2016-February/102245.html There is an issue when trying to perform: $ make -C /usr/ports update on an SVN repository in case there is no svn installed. The freebsd base ships svnlite, which could be used, even if no svn is installed. Provided a patch which makes this default. While writing i'm not sure if FreeBSD 9.3 is already shipped with svnlite. I could not find something about this, so this clearly must be checked before commit. Greetings, Torsten

Just so you know, :) --Chris > > Greetings, > Torsten
A commit references this bug: Author: swills Date: Wed Apr 13 02:02:44 UTC 2016 New revision: 413169 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/413169 Log: Try harder to find svn Don't assume svn is installed, but use it if it's available, falling back to svnlite if not (or using svn from base in the case where WITH_SVN was set in base). This matches the logic in base for finding svn. PR: 207479 Discussed with: gjb Reported by: Torsten Z?hlsdorff <ports@toco-domains.de> Changes: head/Makefile
Isn't quite as simple as that patch, but should be fixed now. Thanks for the report!
