Subversion

[Soul]

I am trying to install subversion on my system but I want to make sure not to damage anything that is already running. Does anyone have a walk through for installing subversion?

I found this. But would like the latest version of subversion and also don't want to break something vital to plesk :)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Well I could yum install subversion as instructed at:

But I would prefer the latest version of subversion.

I tried to download the main file and the dependency files but when I ran ./configure to check for dependencies I realize I don't have a compiler.

So I check out yum install gcc and receive the following information about what will be downloaded and installed.

Is this ok [y/N]:



The problem is that I do not know if any of these will break anything that is currently running in plesk. Since its updating glibc, glibc-common, and libgcc I don't want to break anything already working correctly for plesk. It is obviously not as simple to everyone as it is to you. So I just decided to post if someone had some steps.

Someone suggested

You can just use yum update when using Plesk (and actually, you should if you want to keep your system patched). It's not necessary to compile subversion yourself though, just install the packages from Dag's repository. Add his repository to your yum configuration and yum install subversion mod_dav_svn if you want to run a Subversion server using WebDAV.
