apr-util's make check crashes in the APR Queue Test.
I have had subversion 1.4.x branch running and successfully updating 
several http:-based repositories. Its make check (and auto*
regeneration) requires Python though.


Well, you know what that means for you, don't you? :-P


I tried in vain once - it seemed like Python does not fully bootstrap
itself, Python required Python to compile.
Mmh, that sounds silly. I suppose the BeOS R5 binary of python could work under Haiku, so it should be possible to bootstrap it after all. Otherwise 
cross-compiling is the only alternative, I suppose.


Is there any recipe for creating optional packages?


I wrote
this little tool "diff_zip" (committed to the repository in r24849),
which
recursively scans a directory (or more than one, or files), waits
for a key
to be pressed, rescans the directory, and passes all files, that
have been
added or changed between the two scans to a zip invocation. I
usually run it
like this:

cd ~
diff_zip -ry package-version-gcc2-date.zip -- config


Great! But seems like it's not part of the image?
Nope, it's not part of the image by default. You have to add it via your UserBuildConfig. As François suggested using DESTDIR makes it unnecessary 
for APR and subversion though.
I didn't get this to work by adding it to HaikuImage, so I've started zipping using DESTDIR, thanks for the reminder (I had been using it when cross-compiling!). I have apr, expat, apr-util, neon, subversion zipped now but the test suites not yet passing/compiling.
apr now fails to compile in test/teststr.c in function `snprintf_int64' :144: Internal compiler error, output_operand_lossage `invalid expression as operand'. Brecht has reported a similar error here: 
http://tools.assembla.com/BePorts/wiki/dev-libs/apr
Haven't investigated further but did a quick run at setting up related Wiki pages.
