Subversion 1.4.2 on Linux (Ubuntu) not easy - not possible?
I'm disgusted that I cannot get a working version of Subversion on Ubuntu Linux (or any other version..).
The latest version of Subversion in the Ubuntu repositories is 1.3.2.
This means that it is easy peasy to install the latest version of the Subversion server on Windows an start using it - a 30 minute project, if that.
On Linux (Ubuntu 6.10) I have spent the last two f---g hours trying to build Subversion. I've inched past all the dependency problems and have finally fallen foul of some problem with apache portable libraries. Possibly.
I'm done for the moment, I really dont have the time to devote to nursing this into maturity.
Its a crying shame. The main source of info for attempting to build and install the latest version of Subversion (1.4.2) is here:
Install Subversion 1.4 in Dapper
I've given up on building from scratch and tried the kindly supplied package which of course doesn't do a damn thing as I am trying to install a Dapper package on Edgy. Feck.
Feck.
Back to Subversion 1.3 it is then until I have more time....sucks
