Subversion 1.5 on Fedora 9

jls(~) % sudo yum install subversion
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package subversion-1.4.6-7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
I had hoped (hope is not a strategy) Fedora would have given me svn 1.5 by now. Nope.

To get svn 1.5, rather than ask fedora or google, I just built it myself. I needed to 'yum install neon-devel' and used './configure --with-neon=/usr --with-ssl --with-zlib=/usr/lib' to configure subversion. Otherwise the build/install went fine.

Huzzah!

you can easily install subversion1.5.1 in F9 by doing: yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing subversion

I just did the yum install from updates-testing and that's only Subversion 1.5.1 but the 1.5.4 is out.

But at least we have the merge tracking feature.
