Topic: subversion - installed ver VS svn --version

[stard0g101]

Hi there,

Whilest trying to get svn LOCKing to work, I discovered that version 1.2 of svn was required.

Using "yum upgrade smeserver-subersion" I performed an upgrade to subversion; if I do a "yum info smeserver-subversion" it tells me that 1.2 IS installed.

However; if I perform a "svn --version" I get "1.1.4" is installed

Am I doing something drastically wrong (missed a step) or is my wonderful sme server just being spiteful

Thanks in advance!

The smeserver-subversion contrib has nothing to do with the subversion release. The smeserver-subversion rpm is capable of coping with multiple versions of subversion and I did not want to be bothered to release a new contrib version as a new version of subversion was released as that is not neccesarry.

Just find a newer subversion rpm and install that, it should be somewhere in the repositories.

ok thanks for that, much appreciate your time on this both in answering as well as in building the contrib

The easiest way is to confgure the DAG repository and issue a

Code: [Select]

yum update subversion --enablerepo=dag on s SME Server shell.

You can also download the RPM and issue the yum localinstall /path/to/subversion.rpm, make sure your RPM is suitable for CentOS4 or RHEL4 as they are compatible with SME Server. You probably need to download a few dependencies as well.

The latest RPM version of SME Server subversion taht is available can be found here http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/i386/ and is 1.4.5 at the time of writing. Before mentioned version may not be found in a RPM package but 1.4.4 is the same if you install on linux compared to 1.4.5 as the latter is released to fix a windows security issue as can be read here.
