Just installed the SVN 1.6 on my CentOS 5.2 server. I’m migrating my svn repo from another server which running svn 1.5.2. So i need to install svn that has a version higher than 1.5.2. To install SVN 1.6 you need to install RPMForge and run a few commands.
To install svn 1.6 on CentOS 5.2, follow the steps below:-
Advertisements
- First, download and install RPMForge from here. No worry, the website has a tutorial for you to follow and mostly copy and paste.
- Once your RPMForge installed, open this file
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
and change the value of
enabled=1
to
enable=0
* This is to disable rpmforge from yum and you can enable it when you need later
- Now, enter the command below
$ yum --enablerepo=rpmforge list available | grep subversion
and you should see the latest subversion version from rpmforge.
subversion.i386 1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 base subversion.x86_64 1.6.9-0.1.el5.rf rpmforge subversion-devel.i386 1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 base subversion-devel.x86_64 1.6.9-0.1.el5.rf rpmforge subversion-javahl.x86_64 1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 base subversion-perl.x86_64 1.6.9-0.1.el5.rf rpmforge subversion-ruby.x86_64 1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 base
- Enter the command below to install the latest svn from rpmforge.
For 64 bit OS:-$ yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install subversion.x86_64
For 32 bit OS:-
$ yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install subversion.i386
Just enter Yes for all the dependency needed and svn will be installed.
- To verify if SVN is properly installed, enter the command below and it should show u the svn version details.
$ svn --version

Thanks Lorenzo! That’s where my name was derived from 😛
This saved me a headache! If you only see version 1.42 when doing yum –enablerepo=rpmforge list available | grep subversion go in and enable rpmforge-extras in the file where you had to change hte enable. (/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo)
Just FYI: with the latest version of rpmforge.repo, in order to install svn, you have to enable the rpmforge-extras.
“The default RPMforge repository does not replace any CentOS base packages. In the past it used to, but those packages are now in a separate repository (rpmforge-extras) which is disabled by default.” (From CentOS wiki)
As of 3/18/2011, it looks to me like 1.6 is no longer in rpmforge. Your procedure doesn’t find it, and when I visit rpmforge and browse their rpm list directly, I also don’t see subversion there any more.
Crap. I’ve got a repository that I now can’t access from any new Centos 5 clients (I suppose I could copy the key files over from one of the clients I got upgraded before it went away).
hey! worked perfectly 🙂 Thanks.
For this to work you need to change –enablerepo=rpmforge to –enablerepo=rpmforge-extras
i dont have file rpmforge.repo
what does it contain ?
Thank you I tried this and get:
svn: symbol lookup error: svn: undefined symbol: svn_cmdline_handle_exit_error
