[PATCH] Add RISC OS to FAQ Subversion OSes
A user pointed out (to the feedback@tigris.org address) that
Subversion has also been ported to RISC OS, and the FAQ doesn't
mention that. The fix would be trivial, of course:
> svn diff faq.html
Index: faq.html

<h3>What operating systems does Subversion run
on?</h3>
-<p>All modern flavors of Unix, Win32, BeOS, OS/2, MacOS X.</p>
+<p>All modern flavors of Unix, Win32, BeOS, OS/2, MacOS X, RISC OS.</p>
<p>Subversion is written in ANSI C and uses APR, the <a
href="http://apr.apache.org">Apache Portable Runtime</a> library, as a
(also attached as a patch file).
But is that the Right Thing To Do? I'd hate to see that line become
a dumping ground for port claims. It also occurs to me that it
appears to imply that MacOS X is not a "modern flavor of Unix," which
I would challenge. (RISC OS is arguably less-than-modern, though, so
maybe substituting the one for the other is the right idea?)

Let's see ... are you still exploring that list of "non-modern
Unices"? ;-)

If we list RISC OS, should we list Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, IRIX as well?
How about every flavor of BSD? :-)
