Well, they were the RPM packages recommended on the subversion download
page :-)

The repository is actually quite large - the result of converting 3
years of my consulting work on multiple systems from CVS to SVN. I have
been able to reconstruct the work I did over this week, so it's not 100%
necessary to do this.
That said, I've switched to FSFS repositories. I really want to feel
good about using SVN and hope that this won't happen to me again in
the future.
