Marc,

you may want to try Ubuntu's hardy-backports

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

The entry for sources.list is

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe

The details for Subversion are available at

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/subversion

Hardy-backports currently sports 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2~hardy2.

A more up-to-date backport, 1.5.6dfsg-1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1,
is available in my Launchpad Personal Package Archive:

https://launchpad.net/~mdiers/+archive/ppa

The entry for sources.list is:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mdiers/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mdiers/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

I hope to eventually succeed in getting my PPA packages blessed for
hardy-backports.
