I checked on machines I have available and found this: On my Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS svn mirror server I have: svn, version 1.14.3 (r1914484) ---- * Plaintext cache in /home/bosse/.subversion * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) And on the Rpi5B Bookworm in my home office: svn, version 1.14.2 (r1899510) ---- * Plaintext cache in /home/bosse/.subversion * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) I also have another Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS laptop at home: svn, version 1.14.3 (r1914484) ------ * Plaintext cache in /home/bosse/.subversion * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) All of these *cannot* be used since they can't see the main server on the company LAN... On the Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS server on the company LAN I want to use: svn, version 1.14.1 (r1886195) ------ * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) And the RPi3B also on the company LAN I might use: svn, version 1.14.1 (r1886195) ------ * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) On a Linux Mint 20.3 PC at home: svn, version 1.13.0 (r1867053) ------ * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) It seems like svn 1.14.1 and below is the version in these devices which does *NOT* support the plaintext cache while the next version 1.14.2. and 1.14.3 both do... Question: ----------- Is it possible to get a newer svn version installed in Ubuntu than what is provided by the apt installer for the Ubuntu distribution? TIA. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
