"Linux" Debian Jessie version installs 1.9 svn

Today, when using the official MySQL Docker image, the SVN version is found to be problematic. Needs to be updated to version 1.9. Here's how.

Subversion 1.9 on Debian JessieNovember 4, views:250articlesDebian, Subversion, WANdisco

If you would the latest version of Subversion and prefer using the package manager like me, the following step s below would enable you-install Subversion 1.9 from the WANdisco repositories. At the time of writing, the latest version in the WANdisco repo is 1.9.2.

1	#!/bin/bash

2	# download the GPG key of the repository and add it to apt:

3	wget http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O /tmp/wandisco-debian.gpg

4	# add downloaded key to apt

5	apt-key add /tmp/wandisco-debian.gpg

6	# create apt sources file for wandisco repo

7	echo"deb http://opensource.wandisco.com/debian/ jessie svn19"> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wandisco.sources.list

8	# update apt and upgrade packages

9	apt-get update ; apt-get installsubversion subversion-tools

It's important to note, the Subversion install on Debian Jessie does does include a systemd start script for Svnserve. This problem can easily is solved with the service start script provided below. Create an executable file at with the /etc/init.d/svnserve contents below. Note the line in the OPTIONS script below would need to being updated to reflect your specific environment.

Once your script is in place and set as executable, you can test it with the command below. Assuming your test succeeds, you can then instruct Systemd to start of the service at boot time.

1	# Test our new svnserve service

2	/etc/init.d/svnserve start

3	# Enable at boot in systemd

4	update-rc.d svnserve enable
