Installing subversion 1.5 on ubuntu 8.04

The Subclipse 1.4.x svn plugin for eclipse expects only svn 1.5. Ubuntu comes with 1.4, so we have a problem.

I'm not the only one with this problem, so I found clues here linking to here.

Unfortunately, that was outdated information, and fortunately, it is now a bit easier:

Probably first make sure that the keyring package is installed.
apt-get install debian-archive-keyring


Then go to the clazzes.org launchpad site. Follow the instructions there! This involves adding a key for that package using apt-key, and adding the deb files to /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get install subversion


comment the clazzes.org repositories out of /etc/apt/sources.list and rerun

sudo apt-get update


Messy, but it works. (Only for subclipse 1.4.x!! Not for later/earlier versions)

You really have to wonder what we, the audience, did to deserve this.
