Sounds good, ...
but: I performed a revdep-rebuild in between which did the downgrade of neon
to 0.24.7, but the remerge of rapidsvn failed then.

I now read that rapisvn-0.9.0-r1 depends on the newer version of neon.
Is that correct?
My portage tree is in sync concerning neon and rapidsvn.
Maybe I have to find out how to fix the ebuild of rapidsvn to
make it build on my system.
