Upgrading Debian Sarge to Svn 1.3 or 1.4 - What's the right course?
I have a debian sarge system (2.4.27-2-386) and I want to upgrade it
to svn 1.3 or above. I can either configure it to use the unstable
repositories or I can build svn on the box. Is there an opinion about
which is best? This is just a client machine.

I installed Subversion and all the optional stuff (apache 2,
libapache2-svn, viewcvs, subversion-tools) using the stable, then I
added the backports repository to my source.list. I used it only to
upgrade subversion and libapache2-svn to the version 1.3
No problems at all. But my server is all-dedicated to Svn, so I don't
have all that stuff that makes life complicated (i.e. kde)

I know. I'm an svn dev :-)
But if you want to stick to your packaging system, I'd advise backports.org.

Erik.

Yes. I have Debian too and I had tried to install the 1.4.2 package. And
I got a lot of dependencies!! So I had to choose: upgrade almost the
whole system...or compile SVN!
In my opinion it's better to compile SVN from source; it's quite fast,
don't worry! ;)

I'd use backports.org (see
http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions).
It has a subversion package of 1.3.2 (though you might try to find out
if the newer 1.4.2 has been uploaded to unstable - but that might
bring in lots of other dependencies...).
bye,
Erik.
