First questions first – Anybody want to recommend a location to download
precompiled packages in general? Is there a different answer for
solaris versus opensolaris? (I have some systems running solaris, and
others running opensolaris). I checked the subversion page and they
point me to sunfreeware.
I’m trying to install svn, and finding it a PITA. In my most recent
attempt, I installed all sorts of improperly compiled or linked packages
from sunfreeware, with incorrect version dependency information. Then I
saw somebody’s comment about how blastwave is better than sunfreeware
specifically because things end up built correctly. Then I saw that
blastwave only has svn 1.4.5 available, which is shameful. I require a
minimum 1.5.
So this won't be immediately helpful, but I hope it won't be too
significant a delay:
Subversion is actually part of Solaris. It's available in both Solaris
and OpenSolaris.
For Solaris (Nevada), it's in metacluster "SUNWCprog" and higher, so if
you chose "Developer System Support," "Entire Distribution," or "Entire
Distribution plus OEM support" when you installed, then you should
already have it.
For OpenSolaris, the packages are SUNWsvn, SUNWsvn-perl, SUNWsvn-python,
and SUNWsvn-java. Probably easiest to get them via the redistributable
incorporation.
The catch: it's still at 1.4.3, which doesn't meet your needs. I
forwarded your e-mail to the engineer that I *think* maintains it, and
hopefully he'll reply to either you or the list.

I have gone down the hairy path before, attempting to build my own svn
from source. It’s not an experience I’d like to repeat. But I haven’t
tried it yet on this system.
Thanks for any suggestions.
