I take it that means 1.0.0. The command I issued, if I remember correctly,
was sudo fink install svn. Apparently fink install didn't know about 1.0.1?
Yes, you are using 1.0.0. I recommend you do a 'fink selfupdate-rsync' (or 'fink selfupdate' if you already have chosen rsync before) to get the latest package descriptions including 1.0.1. Also, i recommend using the -ssl variants to get secure connection support. If you want to switch from non-ssl to -ssl variants it is best to remove svn, apache2, apr and neon packages first ('fink remove ...') and then to 'fink install svn-ssl'.

You can enable the unstable tree from the FinkCommander menus: FinkCommander -> Preferences... -> Fink -> Use unstable packages
You can also install fink non-binary packages: Source -> Install
Thanks for the information; it wasn't on the web pages I was looking at, which
said to do it from the command line.
The webpage at subversion.collab.net? Yes, i should add a note there that FinkCommander is an option too.
You are welcome. And please remember to always give feedback to the package maintainers if you installed successfully a fink package in the unstable tree. Only like that we can move packages to the stable tree where binaries are built.
Thanks, Chris.
And what is the appropriate mechanism for doing this? Had I not seen
your post on fink-beginners, I'd not have realized I should do this. The
web page <http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html> doesn't
say anything about it.
True. But it is noted in the Fink FAQ <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable>. You get the email of the maintainer by typing 'fink describe packagename' or you use the red or green email tool in the toolbar of FinkCommander (Negative/Positive Feedback). This is what i use, since FinkCommander also automatically includes some important info about your system.
Hope that helps, Chris.
