Sources missing support for Subversion

[Kyle Fazzari]

Yes, some people still use it.

[Impact]

 * It is hard to make a snap from a project that is hosted in a subversion server.

[Test Case]

 * Define a snapcraft.yaml from a project that uses subversion.
 * Run snapcraft, install and execute the snap.

[Regression Potential]

 * Low. This touches the sources file, which might affect the rest of the sources. We have extensive suite using different sources, so we should be covered.

I need support for this for a snap I'm working on, so I'm adding support for Subversion.

Hello Kyle, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapcraft into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/2.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Tested in an up-to-date xenial:

- update to snapcraft 2.12
- get a snap that uses subversion as the source. (Thanks to popey, I just had to modify the source of his dosbox)
- snapcraft
- the snap is generated
- sudo snap install
- the snap is installed
- dosbox
- the snap starts

I'm marking this as verified.

Thanks Steve!
