Subversion for debian stable and few questions
Hello,
we need to install subversion in a production environment on a Linux
Debian Stable system.
The version of subversion should be as stable as possible and possibly
one of the 1.6.x series.
Unfortunately, the version from the stable branch provides subversion
1.5.x, while 1.6.x is available from debian "backports".
We would like to know if the 1.6.x from debian testing can be
considered suitable for production.
We also have other questions:
- why CollabNet does not (apparently) certify any binary version for debian
- it seems now CollabNet binaries derive from the same sources from
Apache without any modifications. Is this right?
Thank you in advance.

You may wish to ask these questions on CollabNet's community site,
http://www.collab.net/community/.
As an alternative, WANdisco provide packages of the latest Subversion
releases for Debian, http://wandisco.com/subversion/os/downloads.
Currently, AFAIK, both distributions of the Subversion core components
use the same, unmodified source as released by the Apache Subversion
project.

Hello,
we are using libapache2-svn and subversion both from Lenny backports,
with apache2-mpm-worker from plain Lenny,
all on Debian Lenny AMD64,
(for some reason kernel also from Lenny backports).
That combination serves us well
in a busy SVN production environment.
Regards, Andreas

Hi,
you should use the "lenny-backports" package, it is functionally mostly
equivalent to the one in "testing" (currently "squeeze").
1.6.12dfsg-4~bpo50+1
http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/subversion
The real difference is in the runtime package dependencies. See the most
recent changelog entries below for details.
Please be sure you read the instructions on using backports:
http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
subversion (1.6.12dfsg-4~bpo50+1) lenny-backports; urgency=high
* Rebuild for lenny-backports.
- Disable ra_serf, need a newer version than the one in lenny.
- Build-depend on libdb4.6-dev, suggest db4.6-util.
- Build-depend on openjdk-6-jdk instead of gcj-jdk.
- Depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless instead of gij.
