Given that our Subversion is currently linked against an OpenSSL-using
version of Neon, I think what would need to be done is to (1) get a
ca-certificates packages, and (2) point whatever OpenSSL=E2=80=99s environm=
ent
variable is to those certificates, in the build environment.

This has been discussed a bit in the thread at

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-02/msg00242.html

Now, alternately, does GNUnet provide http SVN access (no TLS)?
If it does, you could:

  1. Do an SVN checkout manually, and authenticate it (we can=E2=80=99t rea=
lly
     claim that TLS buys you anything here, as discussed with Mark on
     IRC recently...)

  2. Compute that checkout=E2=80=99s hash, with =E2=80=98guix hash -r=E2=80=
=99.

  3. Write your recipe so that it uses the non-SSL SVN access, with the
     revision and hash obtained above.

WDYT?
