Just installed a brand new debian and than I can’t use my working copies cause the svn version is still 1.6.x
So an upgraded is required!
wget http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O /tmp/wd-deb.gpg apt-key add /tmp/wd-deb.gpg rm /tmp/wd-deb.gpg sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://opensource.wandisco.com/debian wheezy svn18
So now I can have fun again! Why not git? Cause the company repos are still in svn and I had some troubles with git-svn.
Is wandisco totally Debian compatible?
I am rather new to Debian and encountered the problem that you did.
I am still mostly clueless about which cracks in the sidewalk I’m supposed to step on which not.
I expected when choosing Debian to easily steer away from non-free software. I understood that Debian is very big on “stability”. I’m not someone who wants/needs bleeding edge for my home system.
I was resigned to wait (or contribute to the effort) for Subversion to catch up to the version I had been using for quite awhile. I have NO experience in going backward with repositories… only going forward (trouble enough with that).
Is there a forum that welcomes questions about “How to downgrade to Debian from riskier places.”?
yes it is fully compatible. The reason for using it that I want to use the last version of subversion since it has some very nice features and is much faster.
Hallo Mario
Danke für deine Anleitung. Für apache2-support noch folgendes:
* apt-get install libapache2-svn
* /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Thanks a lot. It really works!
Sorry for the newbie question, but how do you upgrade the svn client after the instructions above?
Ooops asked too fast
apt-get install subversion
too obvious for me ;)
