Subversion on Debian
For anyone using debian:
After much hair pulling trying to find the right voodoo to compile the head releases on debian, and not being patient enough to wait for binaries...
I had forgotten that debian was maintaining source packages for subversion and thought I might remind anyone who wants to build the most recent sources on debian that they can use the debian sources instead of the raw sources at collab.net. (unless of course you want to create your own set of debian rules for some reason, they are only a day or 2 behind the most current releases)
Debian has some peculiarities as most know and the unstable apt sources are being maintained in such a way that it will only require 2 commands to actually build .deb files from the latest source code.
Point your /etc/apt/sources.list to an unstable sources mirror such as:
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
then:
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep subversion
apt-get source -b subversion
I had forgotten that building sources on debian can be quite painful for complexly linked systems such as subversion, but the above method makes it real joy to work with.
It will result in a complete set of the following debs:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 267126 Jul 31 17:14 libapache2-svn_0.26.0-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 4151784 Jul 31 17:14 libsvn0-dev_0.26.0-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 1842552 Jul 31 17:13 libsvn0_0.26.0-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 972474 Jul 31 17:14 python2.2-subversion_0.26.0-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 88486 Jul 31 17:11 subversion-tools_0.26.0-1_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 1380102 Jul 31 17:13 subversion_0.26.0-1_i386.deb
you can then use dpkg -i (libs first of course for dependencies) on the portions you
wish to install the "debian" way.
Debian specific info for the sources can be tracked at:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/subversion.html
there are only 11 of us tracking this via email so I assume there are alot of people who need to be reminded of this option.
Perhaps adding this to the FAQ somewhere might be beneficial.

Er, make that libapache2-dav-svn and libapache2-svn ...

The libapache-dav-svn package is obsolete and has been replaced by
libapache-svn. If you use a good package manager it'll tell you this.

I started that backport because I needed to run a subversion server on
woody, so it should work.

I've been running my subversion server on an "unstable" Debian system. It's
been through a few upgrades and no problems have cropped up but I've only
been running it for about a month. I'm accessing it over the network (apache
server). Interestingly the current state is that the subversion programs are
at version 0.26 but the apache dav module is still at version 0.25 ... that
isn't causing any problems though (at least that I've found). It's close
enough to the latest release that I don't bother hand building anything.
For those that want to stick with the stable Debian distribution someone out
there is maintaining the necessary packages for subversion on woody at:
deb http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/subversion-woody ./
Add that to your /etc/apt/source.list and "apt-get install subversion". I'm
only using these subversion programs on the client side but they're working
great for me. Everything you need should be in there to run a subversion
server on woody as well, though I haven't tried it.

I've been running my subversion server on an "unstable" Debian system. It's
been through a few upgrades and no problems have cropped up but I've only
been running it for about a month. I'm accessing it over the network (apache
server). Interestingly the current state is that the subversion programs are
at version 0.26 but the apache dav module is still at version 0.25 ... that
isn't causing any problems though (at least that I've found). It's close
enough to the latest release that I don't bother hand building anything.
For those that want to stick with the stable Debian distribution someone out
there is maintaining the necessary packages for subversion on woody at:
deb http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/subversion-woody ./
Add that to your /etc/apt/source.list and "apt-get install subversion". I'm
only using these subversion programs on the client side but they're working
great for me. Everything you need should be in there to run a subversion
server on woody as well, though I haven't tried it.
