For various reasons I won’t go into, you can’t get Subversion 1.5 to build on Ubuntu 8.04. You can however install it from this alternative repository…
First, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/clazzes.org/ubuntu hardy main
Then update the repo and install:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install subversion
Now go back into the sources.list and remove (or comment out) that repository:
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/clazzes.org/ubuntu hardy main
All done!
Thanks to Seffyroff for ferreting out this info, gleaned from various locations. This reportedly works with both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Ubuntu.
