The latest relevant section taken from that issue: Secondly, I would like to install Subversion 1.9 to try it out, but I'm running > CentOS 6.4 and I just can't get Subversion 1.9 to build. As I mentioned > below, I > have to download the latest Serf version, which doesn't come with CentOS 6.4. > And building serf doesn't work. I try just "scons", but then "scons check" > fails > with things like "test/test_buckets.c:1559: warning: integer overflow in > expression". Plus scons wants "APR", "APU", "OPENSSL", and "PREFIX" parameters > (according to the README.TXT). I'm sure my APR path isn't correct---on this > server I used the Apache from yum and don't know where my APR libraries are. I > don't even know what APU is. So it seems highly unlikely for me to get HTTP(S) > support on Subversion 1.9. The Subversion build process is and has always been > an utterly brittle mess. See Bug 4589 > <http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4589>, which indicates > my frustration. > > Is there anything we can reasonably do about it?
