Svn – How to install SVN client version 1.8 on CentOS/RHEL 6

centos6rhel6svn

I'm trying to install the SVN client version 1.8 on CentOS 6. I'm using the description on

http://tecadmin.net/install-subversion-1-8-on-centos-rhel/

All activities are running successful without any problems. But after that I get

/> svn --version
svn, Version 1.6.11 (r934486)
...

The steps decribed on the following site works for me:

From the article:

How to install subversion 1.8 on CentOS 6.4

If you get the error like "This client is too old to work with working copy" when you use svn client, it means you need a newer svn client. Let us update the svn client on CentOS 6.4 now.

  1. Remove the old version subversion

    yum remove subversion

  2. Download and install subversion 1.8.4-2

    mkdir download && cd download

wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/mod_dav_svn-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/serf-1.3.2-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/subversion-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/subversion-gnome-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/subversion-javahl-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/subversion-perl-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/subversion-python-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm
wget -c http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/i686/subversion-tools-1.8.4-2.i686.rpm

sudo rpm -ivh *.rpm

  3. Check

    svn --version

If the subversion is successfully installed,you can see the following:

svn, version 1.8.4 (r1534716)
