The subversion.eclass uses svn export to make copy in /var/tmp/portage/work, but subversion does not support pulling in of externals from a working copy, only from urls, so svn ebuilds that have externals fail.

In 1.3.0_rc4 externals still don't seem to work. I guess a workaround should be used. Such as just copying the stuff and deleting out the subversion dir.
Like comment #3 suggets, I changed /usr/portage/eclass/subversion.eclass, where it says "svn export" to "cp -r", things work now. I am not sure of what problems this may cause though, svn export was used over cp -r originally for a reason after all.
It works for me, thanks.
I have never thought that subversion_src_unpack() is called more than one time. So that this is suitable behavior. This seems to be a special case so that what should we do ? I don't have a good solution.
The original ebuild was updated and it seems to work. This is not a bug of subversion.eclass. Closing.
