you must have missed this link from the gentoo homepage (on the left): |
| 7 |
http://packages.gentoo.org/ |
| 8 |
a search yields this: |
| 9 |
http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=subversion |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
also, for a command-line version, read: |
| 12 |
man equery |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
You might also want to read up on the portage section in the gentoo |
| 15 |
handbook: |

sorry for such a canned answer, but i would only repeat what's been |
| 19 |
written there. |

Don't put ~x86 in your USE flags just for that - use |
| 29 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords (see the above mentioned portage guide). |
| 30 |
I'm not exactly sure what you want - Gentoo leaves packages in unstable |
| 31 |
for a default period of time to make sure they work allright. If you |
| 32 |
want the newest version of a package, you must tell portage to do so by |
| 33 |
putting the appropriate stuff (subversion and it's dependencies) in |
| 34 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Here, i just did it myself by putting this in my package.keywords |
| 37 |
(create this file if it doesn't exist) : |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
=dev-util/subversion-1.2.1 ~x86 |
| 40 |
=dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.5 ~x86 |
| 41 |
=dev-libs/apr-0.9.5 ~x86 |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
You just add one package, ask portage to merge, then put in the next |
| 44 |
dependency, and so on... |
| 45 |
Tried this on amd64 (with ~amd64 instead of ~x86, naturally), it's |
| 46 |
happily compiling away... This was just info about portage, it is in no |
| 47 |
way any form of endorsement on the new version of subversion, as I |
| 48 |
haven't used it at all - and I don't know if you should be so impatient |
| 49 |
with a new version of a package that seems to be important to you and |
| 50 |
your data... |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Hope this helps, |
