Subversion implementation

We have been using Subversion 1.1 with Apache 2.0. on W2000 server using
Berkely DB for the repository and have had a great deal of success over the
past several years. Thanks for all of your help and hard work. We have
benefited a great deal from your efforts.

We are looking to upgrade our system in the following areas and would like
recommendations from users regarding the potential for continued success in
our plans for expanding our change management system.

1. Our new installation will be hosted on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.  We
expect to use Apache 2.2.3 and Berkely DB based on proven reliability.
What is the latest, stable, recommended Subversion binary currently
available for this implementation?

2. We also have plans to setup multiple servers at several locations around
the world and replicate projects for simultaneous, concurrent development
using the replication tool WANDisco. Does anyone have experience with the
implementation of a replication tool for Subversion? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Dennis

It's the RHEL3 version that doesn't provide BDB support: getting a recent 
enough version of BDB integrated into RHEL3 is awkward at best, dangerous at 
worst. David's SRPM's don't yet have the 64-bit patch built-in, but should 
with the next release.

David Summers provides binaries of the current version of Subversion,  
1.3.2, for RHEL4 but it does not include BerkeleyDB support. Many  
people have had problems with BDB and it's just simpler to leave it out.

If you insist on BDB, you can build Subversion 1.3.2 yourself.

I have no experience with repository replication. I'm aware of SVK,  
which is based on Subversion. I also have heard that Subversion 1.4  
(coming soon) includes some kind of synchronization feature. AFAIK,  
WANdisco is itself a complete solution for Subversion replication, so  
you should consult their documentation.
