Read the [asterisk-bsd] list awhile if you would like to get a feel for
what hell is like in the greater unix asterisk space at the moment.
Aside from little interest amongst core developers in the BSD communities,
SVN certainly isn't canonical on most BSD or other Unix distributions.
BSD users must rely on a port maintainer or individual efforts for
handling every change that comes down the pike and frustration is
rising to the level of discussions of forking or abandonment of the
project.
