Subversion 1.6.x on Ubuntu 9.04
July 1st, 2009 | by richfreedman |As with the situation in an earlier post, the version of Subversion that is in the official Ubuntu repository is not the latest that is available elsewhere. The version that you currently get by installing Subversion on Ubuntu via apt-get is version 1.5, and 1.6 is out.
Fortunately, Anders Kaseorg has provided a deb package for Subversion 1.6 for Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackelope” at https://launchpad.net/~anders-kaseorg/+archive/subversion-1.6
There are versions there for hardy and intrepid as well.
Happy versioning!

Well, this broke me. Our organization still uses subversion 1.5 at its server. Upgrading my client to 1.6 without my knowledge made me incompatible with my code base. I have now spent several hours trying to repair the damage that did. 1.5 and 1.6 do not play well together, so this was a nasty thing to do mid-release.

This problem always gets me at some point. It happened with 1.4 and 1.5. I’ve managed to prevent Tortoise from upgrading 1.5 to 1.6 but just now installed subclipse I’ve tainted my working copy. Thanks for the link now I can get the clients on Eclipse (Aptana), Tortoise and my Ubuntu virtual machine all in sync. And wait for the same thing to happen when Subversion 1.7 is released.
