installing subversion

[Greg Rundlett]

Paul L., or anyone else with knowledge of subversion...

I wanted to install subversion, from scratch, to set up a version control 
system.  So I ended up at this page 
(http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/subversion-latest/redhat-8.x/) 
for the latest RPM's for RedHat 8.

Not sure what the instructions mean.  Which files do I need?  Which do I 
install first?  Doesn't the order matter?  Since you like subversion, I 
figured I could pick your brain.  I read the book, but the install section 
is about one sentence long.  Maybe I just don't know enough about using 
rpm, and there is a magic incantation to get RPM to install subversion for 
me.  Like 
  rpm -ivh 
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/subversion-latest/redhat-8.x/subversion-0.24.2-6284.i386.rpm  
Or 
  apt-get -upgrade subversion

It mentions use '--nodeps when the subversion-tools package is installed, 
but doesn't say that I need that, unless I'm misinterpreting.  I want the 
client and the server, but I don't care about getting the absolute latest 
version, so do I just install everything listed, and not worry about using 
subversion to get the 'most recent'

It says to run the server, install everything but the devel packages.  Does 
that mean I should install the subversion-python RPM--or is that package 
only needed for Python clients?  Does that mean I need all three wxGTK 
RPMs?
