Subversion (SVN) is an open source version control system. It allows users to keep track of changes made over time to any type of electronic data. Typical uses are versioning source code, web pages or design documents.

Installing the latest Subversion (svn) version 1.6.6 is a bit more difficult than just running apt-get install subversion, as the latest stable version in Debian Lenny is considered to be SVN 1.5.1 not Subversion 1.6.6

Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and Add the line below to

# deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

Add the public key from lenny-backports by running the following command

# wget -O - http://backports.org/debian/archive.key | apt-key add -

Now update the latest package definitions

# apt-get update

# apt-get -t lenny-backports install subversion

Check that you now have the correct version by running

# svn --version
svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053)

I recommend you to always use the latest version (but hey backup/dump your repository before), you’ll see later that with Apache  Maven, it is also resolving some issues.
