Cool. I've updated my published tools to build Subversion 1.8.x as RPM's for RHEL 6 and its like, at:
https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.8.x-srpm RHEL 5 doesn't have "libserf" package in EPEL or other public repositories, so I've not tested it there yet : RHEL 4, I've given up on completely, it's unsupported by Red HAt anymore and the dependency chain is out of hand. It's behaving well on my Scientific Linux 6 environment. And yes, it's weird to publish Subversion packaging on a git repository, but I've some workflow reasons to do it that way. I'm also still publishing an updated get-deps.sh at https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.8.x-srpm/blob/master/get-deps.sh, which our Subversion maintainers are more than welcome to.grab. It';s a bit more consistent, and handling the necessary new SQLite URL's, which recently changed naming syntax. Nico Kadel-Garcia
