Status of subversion.tigris.org & Windows binaries

[Jan Hendrik <li...@gmail.com>]

Hi all!

I know and appreciate that the binaries are provided by volunteers, 
so please take this at the actual value of the subject: as a question 
not of when, but on the status.

Checking now and then for new versions at tigris there are only 
binaries for 1.6.6 from late October.  Getting kind of curious I 
looked at the homepage probably a fortnight ago, to find current 
version rather is 1.6.9 or three releases further.  Yet when looking 
around a little more Collab.net had binaries of 1.6.6 only, so had 
Wandisc (learned from Wikipedia they had bought into Subversion). 
 Only third-party places like SlikSVN or TortoiseSVN had 1.6.9 
stuff.  Not much use here as I would need plain server & client 
binaries, nothing more, nothing less.

I could imagine that with the move to Apache there are license 
issues, so my question: have I missed something, will there be 
binaries again in future or are we on our own?

TIA

Just as an fyi, the 1.6.7 and 1.6.8 releases were discarded.  So there
has really only been one release.

CollabNet has had 1.6.9 posted since it was released.

The only issue on the tigris binaries is that the volunteer that was
maintaining them announced back after 1.6.6 came out that he would not
have the time to make them anymore.  Volunteers are always welcome to
create and post binaries.
