Some years back, I used to publish updated releases of Subversion for
the repoforge repository. I stepped away from that hobby when the
repoforge admin decided to stop adding new packages. While RHEL 7 has
subversion 1.6 built-in, my more recent RPM building tools are
available at https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.11.x-srpm.
Wandisco used to publish up-to-date releases. but with the loss of
popularity of Subversion, people have not spent much energy to
backport current releases to older operating systems.
