Please make sure that you are upgrading the server (mod_dav_svn), not only the client /usr/bin/svn

Debian and generic packages are available from https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#debian

What I was trying to do is install SVN 1.8.9 on Debian 4.4.5 with apache 
2.2.

But the libapache2svn file that it is supporting is 1.6.12 and not 1.8.9. 
so when i try to access the repositories. it shows *Powered by subversion 
version 1.6.12(r955767).*

and I am not able to understand why is it showing this version here.

The question and it's premise is weird, as if that information was secret or somehow unobtainable by looking it up. Debian 7 "wheezy" comes with Subversion 1.6.

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/subversion

Thanks Andreas for answering the weird question :-)

That is correct. However that does not change the fact of which version is currently in Debian stable, or prevent you from using it a production environment. That's kind of what a distribution does. Both svn 1.7 and 1.8 are available for Debian, stable/wheezy or otherwise.

Please define what you are trying to achieve... A stable (as in debian stable) distribution package, or a newer svn, or just any?

As shown in the below link, it is saying that 1.6.x is no longer supported.

Please suggest
