upgrading old svn version to newer one
Hi All,
we are currently running svn 1.4.2 in our office.
The repository is the BDB type.
Everything runs on Linux4.
i am thinking if it is better to upgrade our current version to latest one to benefit from newer version. Is this reason enough to upgrade?
Is there any limitation to have newer svn versions with Linux4?

And come to think of it you would probably need to upgrade Apache too, if you're using it

Just my personal two-cents worth, I would upgrade Linux, too. I've
found, in my limited experience, that trying to run newer software on
top of old often leads to problems.

There is no such thing as "Linux4". I assume you mean RHEL 4, or
CentOS 4, or another packaged Linux distribution? In that case, you
should be able to shut down the web service or other access to your
repository, back it up, do a "svnadmin hotcopy" of the repository, and
use the new one as a plug-in replacement.
I like 1.6.x quite a lot. It's begun to try to address the security
failings of Subversion, namely the default storage of user passwords
in clear-text, by at least whinging about it before storing the
password.
