    Subversion on Kubuntu

    The objective of my project is to install Subversion on Kubuntu (10.04 64-bit) locally for evaluation. My understanding is that I need client only installation, no server is needed in this case. Please comment here if my understanding is incorrect.

    The Apache Subversion site points me to Ubuntu Packages page http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ersion&exact=1

    Questions:
    1. What specific package(s) should I get from this site for Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit system?
    2. What are the installation / initial setup instructions?
    3. Is version 1.7 available on Kubuntu? According to the SVN site it's been released already.

    Thank you

    Re: Subversion on Kubuntu

    1. What specific package(s) should I get from this site for Kubuntu 10.04 64-bit system?
    As said ( [K]Ubuntu Packages ):
    If you are running Ubuntu, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website...
    Is your Kubuntu installation without the net connection ?


    ...I need client only installation... 2. What are the installation / initial setup instructions?
    Command line / apt-get:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install subversion
    Package subversion:
    :~$ apt-cache show subversion
    ...
    Description-en: Advanced version control system
    Subversion, also known as svn, is a version control system much like
    the Concurrent Versions System (CVS). Version control systems allow
    many individuals (who may be distributed geographically) to
    collaborate on a set of files (typically source code). Subversion has
    all the major features of CVS, plus certain new features that CVS
    users often wish they had.
    .
    This package includes the Subversion client (svn), tools to create a
    Subversion repository (svnadmin) and to make a repository available
    over a network (svnserve).

    3. Is version 1.7 available on Kubuntu? According to the SVN site it's been released already.
    The new package are going to the development version. It is now the 12.04.

    http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...pic=3117319.0:
    After the six month development phase the Ubuntu is released as the final product. The packages and the iso images will stay as they are released but there can be important security fixes for the packages...

      Re: Subversion on Kubuntu

      Thank you for the information.

      I do have networking connection, so this is not a problem. I do not intend to install packages directly from the web site, however I would like to use CLI, it fits better with my objective using Linux.
      I assume that even if I issue a command line request, the package would be installed by a package manager. Are you saying that if the aptitude package manager is used then it automatically picks the correct SVN package for the given installation? This may be a dumb question, I just don't have a lot of experience with this.

      Just to clarify, is the 12.04, you are referring to below, the development version of SVN? I would prefer to install a stable, released version. Based on the file names in the Ubuntu repository it's 1.6, and I also read that 1.7 has been released in October? Just a bit confusing...

      Thank you

        While you evaluate SVN you should also evaluate bzr and git.

            Yes, it is the idea of the package management.

            Just to clarify, is the 12.04, you are referring to below, the development version of SVN?
            No, it is the development version of the K/X/L/Ubuntu.

            ...to install Subversion on Kubuntu (10.04 64-bit)
            There are available for the Lucid (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ersion&exact=1):

            Package: subversion (1.6.6dfsg-2ubuntu1.3) amd64 i386

            The command:
            Code:
            sudo aptitude install subversion
            should install the correct flavour: amd64.
            Have you tried ?
