Subversion upgrade from 1.3.0 to 1.5x

[Peter Hoydonkx <pe...@nxp.com>]

Hi

Currently we have the following setup:

Linux server       ->           Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
                               ->           Subversion (server) 1.3.0
                               ->           Apache 2.0
                               ->           Trac 0.9.4

                               ->           around 30 repositories (some with Trac enabled)

Windows clients              ->           running TortoiseSVN client
                                               ->           some PC's have subversion installed (for CLI usage)

Now we would want to upgrade to Subversion to 1.5.x.

Some questions:
- Which version could we best upgrade to? 1.5.2?
- What are the steps to upgrade a subversion server installation? (I could find installation steps but no upgrade steps).
- What are the steps to upgrade the repositories? A few projects want to benefit from the new 1.5.x features while for some it is not important so
it is not a requirement to migrate all repositories at once.

With kind regards
Peter

Unless you have a reason to run an older version, yes.

Just install the new version over the old (or uninstall the old, then
install the new).

http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#repos-upgrades
. In your case, a dump/load cycle wouldn't be a bad idea instead of
the "shortcut" upgrade at that link; the dump/load cycle will let you
take advantage of the new diff algorithm introduced in 1.4 (possibly
saving a lot of disk space on the repository).
