Title: subversion - installed ver VS svn --version
Post by: stard0g101 on September 20, 2007, 09:19:40 AM
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.

The easiest way is to confgure the DAG repository (http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Yum_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 (http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/NewsItemView?newsItemID=1941).
