RPMforge used to publish compatible updates of these packages for RHEL based systems. I wrote the last few sets of Subversion RPMs published there, but have basically thrown in the towel as increasing new build requirements required maintaining more and more updated, unsupported from upstream versions of libraries. And I'm fraid that RPMforge seems to be moribund. I'd talk to Wandisco about getting their up-to-date builds for RHEL 7 or compatible operating systems.
