Hi, you should use the "lenny-backports" package, it is functionally mostly equivalent to the one in "testing" (currently "squeeze"). 1.6.12dfsg-4~bpo50+1 http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/subversion The real difference is in the runtime package dependencies. See the most recent changelog entries below for details. Please be sure you read the instructions on using backports: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ subversion (1.6.12dfsg-4~bpo50+1) lenny-backports; urgency=high * Rebuild for lenny-backports. - Disable ra_serf, need a newer version than the one in lenny. - Build-depend on libdb4.6-dev, suggest db4.6-util. - Build-depend on openjdk-6-jdk instead of gcj-jdk. - Depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless instead of gij. -- Michael Diers <mdi...@elego.de> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 01:52:25 +0100 subversion (1.6.12dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=high * patches/loosen-sqlite-version-check: New patch: Relax the SQLite version check, to match the Debian sqlite3 packaging. (Closes: #608925) * patches/cve-2010-4539: New patch for CVE-2010-4539, fixing a remotely triggered crash in mod_dav_svn involving use of the SVNParentPath feature.
