Usually it involves making usre nobody can access your repository
(shutting down appache or svn server), and copying new binaries over the
exiting ones. Well, on Linux you may have to upgrade the BDB libraries as
well, if you choose to use BDB. And you usually (denpends on the distro, I
guess) have to build from souce yourself.
