RedHat 9 includes subversion
I read at www.gurulabs.com/RedHatLinux0-review.html that subversion
(0.17.1) is now a package shipped by RedHat.

SuSE 8.1 (current) have 0.14.2.
And the upcoming SuSE 8.2 (at least the Professional edition) have the
0.17.1 version. They even include cvs2svn as the package
"subversion-cvs2svn 0.17.1" (is cvs2svn as of 0.17.1 good enought?)
"Yast Online Update" are SuSE's version of Red Hat's up2date and Debian's
apt-get but usually, SuSE are only doing bugfixes and critical upgrades
for most of it's packages.

Well, at the risk of starting a religious war, "Yes."

We'll need to do more than simply recommend it; we'll need to beg them
to package it, sign it, and place it in the "Red Hat 9 Channel", or
whatever it's called. At least, I think that's the process; I don't
know for sure.

I agree that RedHat will probably only release security patches for
subversion if they are needed.
The first thing I always install on a RedHat bot is apt-get:
http://freshrpms.net/apt/
What is nice about this is that it's easy for anyone to host a
RedHat apt respository with updated packages, for example see the
list of More rpm packages here:
http://freshrpms.net/links/
I think a respository of updated subversion and other related
packages (eg apache) would provide the easiest way of enabling
people to update from the RedHat RPM -- people would just need to
install apt and then add a couple of lines to their sources list and
then update and upgrade.

up2date is an automated system for Red Hat to distribute errata
(either security fixes or updates), much like Microsoft's Windows
update service.
As for Red Hat updating subversion, I wouldn't expect it to happen
though you can certainly try entering a bugzilla RFE against Red Hat 9
(www.redhat.com/bugzilla )
For those unfamiliar with how Red Hat works Red Hat releases a new
version of their base Red Hat Linux product approximately every 6
months. Thus whatever successor to Red Hat 9 is should be released
around September.
However, the key date for the next Red Hat release (and hence for
whatever version of subversion you would like to see in the next Red
Hat release) will be approximately 3 months from now when Red Hat
starts their next beta cycle. As a general rule whatever version
appears in the beta will be the version shipped (allowing for bug
fixes) as Red Hat is very strict on not upgrading to a newer version
of a package once the beta cycle has started.

Is that like Debian's "apt-get"?
Yes, if we could recommend 0.20.1 as an update, at least we'll have a
ready answer (a FAQ item, even) when people encounter problems.

One of the nice things about Red Hat is the up2date system; in an ideal
world, we would be able to convince them to publish 0.20.1 as an "update"
to 0.17.1.

It's *out*??
That was fast. I thought that was a review of an impending
release... (goes to reread)... Whups, yes, how right you are.
Okay, well, 0.17 is better than nothing. Greg Stein pointed out (in
a private thread) that we should probably worry a *bit* more about
0.17 compatibility now :-).

Too late, it's already released.

Yah. I'm mailing someone there to see if there's any chance at all of
getting a later Subversion put in before release :-).
