I forgot to "reply all". The formatting of my e-mail is very bad,  I am sorry :-(
I try to fix it manually.

Looking 
the 
Manual, 
I 
think 
a 
good 
option 
would 
be 
to 
use 
math.random 
with
an 
integer 
interval. 
I 
am 
still 
thinking 
why 
the 
"," 
did 
not 
appear 
when
using 
LFS.

Yes, 
sometimes 
I 
said 
Sputnik 
when 
I 
should 
say 
"Sputnik 
installation
script". 
Well, 
I 
can 
do 
a 
"pcall" 
to 
"svn.repos_create" 
inside 
Versium, 
but
I 
think 
this 
should 
be 
done 
by 
the 
user 
or 
the 
installation 
script. 
Another
thing 
is 
that 
"svn.repos_create" 
only 
creates 
local 
repositories 
and 
somebody
may 
want 
to 
user 
a 
non-local 
repository.

I 
think 
you 
are 
a 
little 
bit 
afraid 
of 
the 
problems 
a 
user 
can 
have 
when 
trying
to 
install 
luasvn 
:-)
In 
this 
case, 
it 
seems 
a 
good 
approach 
to 
have 
a 
different 
rock 
"versium-x",
assuming 
the 
basic 
rock 
of 
Versium 
will 
only 
install 
"lfs".
