Installing Subversion (svn) 1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy

Greg's picture

Maybe you're experimenting with git and bzr and you think svn is oldschool. Maybe you don't know what any of those words mean. All the same, if you need Subversion 1.6 on an Ubuntu Hardy machine here's the steps I followed to get it working:

1. Get the sources set up for an alternate svn repository

I used Anders Kaseorg which seems to be fairly popular.

Add these two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

2. Get Anders key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 413576CB

3. Update/Upgrade

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Glory!

I don't know why newer versions of SVN are so hard to get to ubuntu hardy, but this sure made it a heck of a lot easier.

Excellent - a breeze.

Kudos

I know it's getting long in the tooth, but I friggin love Hardy! Thanks for this svn update script although installing the key part is a little scary ;)

Thank you

Thanks! Works like a charm!
