He can't because he's patching things that go into configure.  If you
follow his links you can see the patches that are being included.
Some of them probably should be made on our side.  But that doesn't
happen if nobody submits them.

Couldn't you just use the 'configure' script in the tarball?  If you do
that, neither autoconf nor python is required.

My SRPM building tools have been updated to match, at:
 https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.6.21-srpm
and
 https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.7.9-srpm

Minor changes include the recent discard of support for RHEL 4 in the
subverson-1.7.x build structure, and switching from using "autogen.sh" to
simply "aclocal" and "autoconf" instead of building a custom backported
Python locally on older systems, just to get the ./configure to work.

My SRPM building tools have been updated to match, at:
 https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.6.21-srpm
and
 https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.7.9-srpm

Minor changes include the recent discard of support for RHEL 4 in the
subverson-1.7.x build structure, and switching from using "autogen.sh" to
simply "aclocal" and "autoconf" instead of building a custom backported
Python locally on older systems, just to get the ./configure to work.
