[Bug 949143] Re: [needs-packaging] Provide Subversion 1.7.x in the Ubuntu Software Repo

[Maarten Bezemer]

These kind of 'core' packages are obtained from Debian. They do not provide version 1.7.x, so Ubuntu is also not providing this version as well.
I would suggest to open a report at Debian with this feature request (if there is not one already). And add the link to the report to the bug watcher, so we can keep track of their progress.

Title:
  [needs-packaging] Provide Subversion 1.7.x in the Ubuntu Software Repo

Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Current in the Ubuntu repos only Subversion 1.6.12 is provided. And as far as I can see this version is planned for 12.04, too. 
  This version is outdated and only partially supported by the Apache team (see http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/). Further it should be noted that this version has new features, which make the life a bit easier with svn. 

  The source is available @ http://subversion.apache.org/download/

  So please package and provide subversion in version 1.7.x in the
  upcoming Ubuntu 12.04.
