I'm glad you were able to use my RPMS to bootstrap....but it seems (to me)
that it might have been easier if you went this route:
* download the latest RPMS from
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/redhat/i386/subversion-latest.
* Use those to go grab the latest stuff from
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us:81/
* Once you get those in your $HOME/rpms/sources directory just go into
each of those directories and "rpm -ba *.spec" and then install the latest
binaries from that.
* Then check out subversion and go to the packages/rpm directory and type
"make" and it will build the latest subversion packages for you.
Then install that and you're up-to-date and can stay up-to-date fairly
easily almost every day.
I can be more detailed if any of the above was not detailed enough.
It might be easier that way than just using the original RPMS to bootstrap
and then having to re-do all the work that the RPMs automate.
Please let me know what you think about that scenario.
