How do I update my subversion client from 1.6.6 (r40053) on Lucid Lynx ?

[sinnamary]

Context:
I am running on Lucid Lynx. 10.04 LTS

Goal:
My subversion client is now at version 1.6.6 (r40053).
I want to upgrade it to a newer version like 1.6.16.

Background:
I have searched on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and the latest is 1.6.6.
A few people like this (http://www.toosweettobesour.com/2008/09/04/svn-client-too-old-in-ubuntu), have suggested that it is a matter of finding repositories that provide compiled binaries.

I have enabled backports etc.. and nothing is available.

Do you recommend I compile from source or do you perhaps have links to other repositories for Lucid Lynx ?

Your help is much appreciated.

Lucid does not seem to be supported any more ...

You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6 to your system's Software Sources.

Take a look at the source of that quote - here (https://launchpad.net/%7Eanders-kaseorg/+archive/subversion-1.6) or google a similar PPA for that.

I had upgrade my subversion from 1.6.x to 1.7.x from this (http://askubuntu.com/questions/65468/where-can-i-find-a-subversion-1-7-binary) guide.
Hope it can help.


$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
assume you had install subversion in you system, otherwise use

$ sudo apt-get install subversionfristly.
