Subversion 1.3.2 for Ubuntu Dapper Drake and Breezy Badger

Subversion 1.3.2 binary packages for Ubuntu Breezy Badger 5.10 and Dapper Drake 
6.06 on i386 are now available.

These packages include the command line client, mod_dav_svn and the Ruby, Java, 
Python and Perl bindings.

The Subversion packages are backports of the Debian Subversion 1.3.2 packages. 
These packages for breezy are built from Debian's 1.3.2-1 package and for dapper 
are built from 1.3.2-3.

Since I just upgraded my Ubuntu boxes to Dapper Drake, this is the last binary 
release of Subversion I will do for Breezy Badger.

Breezy Badger
=============

Subversion requires APR 0.9.7, which is packaged and built from Apache 2.0.55, 
not the 2.0.54 package that comes with Breezy Badger.  So there are the 
following backports of Apache2 related packages:

apache2
apache2-common
apache2-doc
apache2-mpm-perchild
apache2-mpm-prefork
apache2-mpm-worker
apache2-prefork-dev
apache2-threaded-dev
apache2-utils
libapr0
libapr0-dev

Dapper Drake
============

No other packages were backported to build this version of Subversion.

Available Subversion Packages
=============================

The following Subversion packages are available:

libapache2-svn
libsvn-core-perl
libsvn-javahl
libsvn-ruby1.8
libsvn-ruby
libsvn0
libsvn0-dev
python-subversion
subversion
subversion-tools

Berkeley DB Change
==================

Along with the upgrade of Apache to 2.0.55, the libapr0 and apache2 packages are 
now linked with Berkeley DB 4.3, which is an upgrade from Berkeley DB 4.2 that 
the Breezy Badger's packages link with.  This change was made in the Debian 
upstream packages and I decided not to back down to 4.2 for several reasons: 1) 
When you upgrade to Dapper Drake, you'll have already made the switch to 4.3; 2) 
It's easier to maintain backports from Debian with fewer changes to the source 
packages.

Please see this URL on upgrading your repositories if they are using the 
Berkeley DB backend.

Important Installation Note
===========================

The archive containing these packages also contain a number of other packages as 
backports, so if you're not careful, you may pick them up if you don't want to, 
although there are some good packages :)  For this reason, I recommend not 
running an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' as you may pick up a large number of packages 
you didn't mean to.

Another Important Installation Note
===================================

All of my packages have the name 'zajac' in them so it's easy to distinguish the 
packages you picked up from this repository by running:

$ dpkg -l | grep zajac
