[PATCH] gnu: subversion: Download from apache archive site

Attempts to build subversion fail because the version currently in Guix
(1.7.8) is no longer on the apache mirror network.  It turns out that
the apache mirrors keep only a couple of recent versions.  This patch
changes the download location to archive.apache.org, which keeps old
versions around.

What do you think?

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: subversion: Download from apache archive site.

* gnu/packages/subversion.scm (subversion): Download from archive.apache.org,
  where versions are kept for a longer period of time.  Previously, we
  downloaded from the mirrors, which keep only the most recent versions.

The tar.gz should be downloaded from hydra thanks to the substituter. I 
have the exact same problem on x86, while it works for people on x86_64. 
What architecture do you use ?

Cyril.

I think I’m still waiting for more info from you to understand what’s
going on.  Hint.  :-)

I wasn’t aware of archive.apache.org, but it’s probably the right thing
to do then, so please commit.

Apparently that site is not mirrored, which is unfortunate.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
