Actually, they aren't, if you know how to do them. Basically, the
required steps are:
1) Install the db4.2-util and db4.3-util packages.
2) Terminate all processes that may access the Subversion repository
(Apache, svnserve, inetd). If necessary, enter single-user mode
to be sure.
3) Install the new Subversion package.
4) For each Subversion repository which uses the BDB backend, repeat
the following steps:
a) Change to the "db" subdirectory of the repository.
b) Invoke "db4.2_checkpoint -1 -h .".
c) Invoke "db4.2_archive -d -h .".
d) Invoke "db4.2_recover -h .".
e) Invoke "db4.3_recover -e -h .".
This assumes that you do not perform log-file archival. If you
do, you need to archive them before step c), and perform a full
database backup after d).
5) Bring up the system again.
Come to think of it, svnadmin dump/svnadmin create/svnadmin load is
probably easier, although you can hardly avoid the single-user
requirement.
(4b and 4c are mainly a speed optimization, so that less work is
required in 4d.)
