WordPress has another security update. I am tired of patching zips, and the Subversion update looks a lot easier, but for some stupid reason, 1&1 does not include the SVN client in their standard setup.
The tags to upgrade to are here. All I need is the Subversion client!
The basic Subversion build is here at http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL
Get both the source and the deps files, for example subversion-1.4.4.tar
and subversion-deps-1.4.4.tar
.
mkdir svn
cd svn
tar xvf subversion-1.4.4.tar
tar xvf subversion-deps-1.4.4.tar
cd subversion-1.4.4
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install
The --prefix=$HOME
dumps the client code into ~/bin, since we cannot write into the shared “root” areas.
Now (per here) I edit ~/.bash_profile (not .bashrc) and add the lines:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
Load it up:
source ~/.bash_profile
I am not a Unix guru. This only took two hours and my Sunday morning to figure out. Curse 1&1.
