Hi Steve,
thank you so much for your response.
Pkgadd is a package based installation which affects the systems root files
etc... What I hoped to find was a solution like cvs where it is just one
file that is the executable and as long as you can just place it in your
path you should be good to go as far as a client is concerned - I am not
talking as a server!
Also - did you see my other email that there is a commandline svn client
available called svnkit. It is written in java so theoretically it can run
absolutely anywhere. The command is called jsvn and you can do 'jsvn co' to
checkout and 'jsvn up' to update etc.. So I have just aliased jsvn to svn
and it works just like svn and is pretty neat - so far it has satisfied each
and every requirement of mine as far as svn is concerned.
there were other responses - one of which is to build from source with
<quote>
So if you compile from source and don't want to be root (e.g. you just want
to
try it out) you'd do something like:
./configure --prefix=/home/me/svn
make
make install
