<h1 style="text-align: center;">Subversion Packages</h1>
<p>The best available version of Subversion is: <a
href="svn_1.3_releasenotes.html">1.3.1</a></p>
<p>You can install Subversion by compiling its <a
href="#source-release">source code release</a> directly, or you can
install one of the <a href="#binary-packages">prepackaged binaries</a>
if there is one for your operating system. Unless a release has
"alpha", "beta", or "rc" in its name, it is tested and considered
stable for production use. Once you have Subversion installed, most
of your questions can be answered by reading the <a
href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com" >Subversion Book</a> and <a
href="faq.html">FAQ</a>.</p>
<p>To upgrade to the latest release, just install "on top of" an older
release. Any Subversion 1.X program is forward-compatible with newer
1.Y libraries. No repository upgrade is required. As long as a
client and server both have the same major release number (1), an
older client works with a newer server and a newer client works with
an older server. The only caveat is that if the client and server
minor release numbers don't match (e.g 1.0 and 1.1), then not all new
features may not be available.</p>
<p>The 1.0 and 1.1 development line are no longer active. We are no longer
fixing bugs in 1.0.x/1.1.x nor making 1.0.x/1.1.x releases. Only the discovery
of a horrible data-loss or security bug would prompt us to do another
1.0.x/1.1.x release. If you discover a bug in 1.0/1.1, it is likely already
fixed in a later development line. If you report the bug, you'll
probably be told to upgrade first.</p>
</div>
<div class="h2" id="source-release" title="source-release">
<h2>Source Code</h2>
<p>The latest source release can always be found <a
href="http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=260&expandFolder=74">
in this directory</a>, in the file-sharing area of the Subversion
website. <br />Windows users should download <tt>.zip</tt> files.
For all other operating systems, download <tt>.tar.gz</tt> or
<tt>.tar.bz2</tt> files.</p>
<p>Be sure to read the <a href="getting_subversion.html">general
instructions</a> for building from the source tarball, and the <a
href="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL">specific instructions</a>
within the source code itself.</p>

<h2>Binary Packages</h2>
<p>The Subversion project <b>does <i>not</i> officially endorse or
maintain</b> any binary packages of the Subversion software. However,
volunteers have created binary packages for different distributions
and platforms, and as a convenience, we maintain a list of links to
them here. If there are any problems with or questions about the
different binary packages please send email to the <a
href="mailto:users@subversion.tigris.org">Subversion users mailing
list</a>.</p>
<div style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">
<p><b>NOTE: Binary packages usually come out about a week after the
corresponding source release. Please don't post to the mailing lists
asking when a binary package for a given platform will be ready. The
packagers already know when new source releases come out, and work as
fast as they can to make binaries available.</b></p>

<p>Binary RPM packages of Subversion 1.1.x are already available in this
distribution. If you do not already have them installed then you may install
them from the installation CD/DVD or use "yum install subversion" to install
them from the internet distribution mirrors. Alternatively, the Dag repository
linked to above also has packages for this distribution, and is more likely
to update to Subversion 1.2.x when it is officially released.</p>

<p><strong>WARNING:</strong> subversion 1.2 (and later) win32 binaries
use BerkeleyDB 4.3. If you already have BDB 4.2 repositories running
on Windows, then installing these particular binaries will force you
to upgrade your repositories to BDB 4.3. It's not difficult, just be
ready to do so. Read
the <a
