You can also just check out the rancidSVN directory and install it 
normally like rancid.

I wrote this patch because it was pretty easy to do. It is a drop-in 
replacement for the CVS rancid. I was going to make a separate patch 
that would make subversion optional so that it could be merged into the 
mainline rancid tree, but this worked so well that I really didn't have 
any reason to do it. I will continue to track the major RANCID releases 
and merge in those changes appropriately. Maybe one of these days I'll 
get off my ass and write an optional patch so that subversion support 
can be merged into the mainline rancid, as my patch seems to be pretty 
popular.

The site above might be a little slow for a couple of weeks, as I am in 
the process of moving the host to a new provider.
