Hi,

I have a Centos repository for various security tools and needed a newer
svn too (and a newer Ruby for Rails but thats another story). I have svn
1.4.2 and apr 1.2.7 in my repo. To get this to work properly i had to
rebuild httpd too (which is a backport of the 2.2.3 in fc6). Ofcourse it
is not extensively tested but it works for me; maybe it works for you too?

Here's the repo file (just place in /etc/yum.repos.d)
http://www.grond.org/downloads/source/Centos/RPMS/repofiles/grond-centos-i386.repo

You can view or download the rpms here:

Kind regards,


Rubin.
