[webkit-dev] Are there any plans to upgrade SVN server on svn.webkit.org?

[Osztrogonác Csaba]

+1 for upgrading the SVN server.

1.6.11 is really outdated and I think it is unsecure too.
1.6.11 was released 6 years ago and the last release
from 1.6 series is 1.6.23 which was released 3 years ago.

> According to [1], currently svn.webkit.org runs severely outdated Subversion 1.6.11. Since then, there were 3 significant releases of Subversion, which brought lots of performance improvements, most importantly brand new HTTP protocol [3] and storage format improvements [4]. Also, since 1.7 Apache 2.4 with MPM event is supported, which may increase server throughput.
