I think it's Ubuntu, and I think that's was done for now.

But I think while generally using distro-supplied packages is the thing to do,
for svn/git it makes sense to get the latest and grates and do the updates
manually since they are the main services we get from openib.org - so getting
more features/speed from there really helps alot.

No?
