My CentOS (el7.x86_64) machine only has subversion 1.7.14 available: % yum info subversion Installed Packages Name : subversion Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.7.14 Release : 10.el7 Size : 4.6 M Repo : installed >From repo : anaconda There doesn't seem to be an option for subversion 1.9.4. A brief scan of the offerings at: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#redhat isn't encouraging. CollabNet and WANdisco both require registration, SummerSoft is either out-of-date or incomprehensible, and: https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge says: "RPMForge/RepoForge is a dead project. It is not maintained. DO NOT USE." Given the situation, building from source might be a reasonable approach. I downloaded the 1.9.4 source a few days ago, to have a look at it, and I will probably need to build it on CentOS-7; so, any pointers Horst or others might post on this process will be appreciated (by me, at least).
