installing SVN 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 8 (hardy)

I have a virtual server with Ubuntu 8.4 (hardy) and I could not
successfully upgrade it to 8.10 due to some errors.
Unfortunately the designated Subversion-package for hardy ist 1.4.6

What is the best practise to get Subversion 1.5.x installed on this old Ubuntu?

Maybe someone can propose what additional entry to put in sources.list ?

Marc,

which package did you install, the one from hardy-backports or the one
from my PPA?

Anyway, Apache's dav_svn module is provided by package libapache2-svn:

$ apt-cache search dav_svn
libapache2-svn - Subversion server modules for Apache

I would not expect much of a "guiding dialogue" during installation;
there is nothing special about these packages compared to other Ubuntu
packages.

Please compare your installation method with the following procedure
(executed with root privileges):

# echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mdiers/ppa/ubuntu hardy main' \
   >> /etc/apt/sources.list

# apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 51010C8C
...

# aptitude update
...

# aptitude show subversion libapache2-svn | egrep '^(Package|Version)'
Package: subversion
Version: 1.5.6dfsg-1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1

Thanks, Michael. I could install the package.
However there was no dialogue to lead the installation process.
No apache-modules have been installed, so I cannot use dav_svn.
Any idea how to make it work?

Marc,

you may want to try Ubuntu's hardy-backports

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

The entry for sources.list is

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe

The details for Subversion are available at

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/subversion

Hardy-backports currently sports 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2~hardy2.

A more up-to-date backport, 1.5.6dfsg-1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1,
is available in my Launchpad Personal Package Archive:

https://launchpad.net/~mdiers/+archive/ppa

The entry for sources.list is:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mdiers/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mdiers/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

I hope to eventually succeed in getting my PPA packages blessed for
hardy-backports.

I take the Redhat rpms provided by Collabnet, use alien to convert the
.rpm to a .deb, and install that .deb. This has worked well for me even
on an old Drake box.
