Sometimes when I use the portage subversion module it skips updating even when I know for a fact that there's updates on the repo. I would much prefer that svn itself detect when the repo has updates for it.
What subversion module? You need to be more verbose.
we don't have a subversion module (and I haven't seen a third-party one anywhere) so I take it you mean the subversion ebuild. If that's wrong please re-assign back and be much more verbose.
I do mean the ebuild subversion module that you inherit into the ebuild. Sorry if I wasn't verbose enough :/
This concerns the subversion eclass ;-)
This is not a bug. You need to wait for 1 hour for the next update.
