Then you'll see them. Let me get my eyes to stop bleeding first as I try to see that very, very faint print for "Show other versions". Really, I could not see it on the small screen I was using. But cool, it's there, thanks for the corection. It's nice to have in the thread, too.

I apologise for sounding like a shill, I just feel it would be wrong of me to recommend something I have no experience with.

Click on "Show other versions" and then on "Show unstable packages" for the particular Suse version of interest. Then you'll see them. The 1.7.5 package is in a separate package repository called devel:tools:scm:svn which serves as the development repository for all of Suse's Subversion packaging efforts. The repository is created automatically by the build service and can be added to yum like any other third-party repository to make packages within it available for installation. The packages sitting in the development repository move to the official distribution repository whenever a new Suse release is made. So packages from the build service blend into the distribution just like packages from the official distribution repository do, and don't require registration with a third party.

Cool!!! I was looking at
http://software.opensuse.org/package/subversion, which lists 1.6.18.
Looks like they need to update that webpage.

It is available. Follow the link from packages.html, click your
way through the menu ("Grab binary packages directly") and you'll find
these and more:

You've a reasonable point: I did something similar to Mat, pointing Robin to my RHEL compatible tools. The problem is that Robin was asking about subversion 1.7.5, which is not currently in the OpenSuSE repositories and I'm reasonably certain not in the SLES repositories. > For Suse in particular there are up-to-date packages provided by the > Suse package maintainers themselves, via the OpenSUSE buildservice. I'm afraid not. See above: they're at 1.6.18, not 1.7.5. > I'm not saying these binaries were any better than Wandisco's for any > particular purpose. But linking to the full list of available packages > gives people more options and provides equal visibility to all packaging > efforts. Please consider this. Thanks! You've a good point. What would it take to get Repoforge listed for RHEL compatible components? That's where my last published build components for subversion-1.7.4 wound up, and where I'm trying to get the update to 1.7.5 for RHEL access.

Robin, if you're on SLES 11 or later, I urge you to go to http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download and grab their 1.7.5 RPM's. Just save yourself time building it, and get a working toolkit. If you have the skills to build it well manually, you have the skills to build RPM's. I'm going to assume you've done so, and if not, you're welcome to my SRPM components for Red Hat based systems at https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.7.5-srpm. They'd need tuning for SLES: the latest version I see published for OpenSuSE directly is 1.6.17. If you need to rebuild 1.7.5 from that SRPM, it should be pretty easy, especially if you hit my .spec file for 1.7.5 differences. (My published 1.6.18 and 1.7.5 .spec files have been synchronized to avoid irrelevant discrepancies.) > My humble questions are the following: > > Do I just need to compile the new source and overwrite the existing binary > files? > Are there any new dependencies or upgrades? Yeah, especially if you want features like the kwallet tools. The psvn add-on tool also has new Emacs version dependencies, and it's unclear which SLES release you are using, so it's unclear if you'll have the Python dependencies to cmpile it. > It's long ago since I installed Subversion and I'm not an advanced Linux > administrator in case of installing software by hand from source code. Then avoid it. Use the RPM's or build from the SRPM's to get a new version: that helps tremendously with resolving dependencies. Many tools, such as subversion, only enable certain features if you have the local libraries at configuration and build time, and working with the SRPM's helps assure that you have them available. > > So I thank you in advance for your anwers and hints. > > > Best regards > Robin Güldenpfennig > Not a problem. I'm getting very fond of the bundled toolkits from Wandisco: the site management toolkits are very useful.

So it is more appropriate to link to the Apache Subversion project's official page for binary packages, which is: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html For Suse in particular there are up-to-date packages provided by the Suse package maintainers themselves, via the OpenSUSE buildservice. I'm not saying these binaries were any better than Wandisco's for any particular purpose. But linking to the full list of available packages gives people more options and provides equal visibility to all packaging efforts. Please consider this. Thanks!
