RHEL 4 is, frankly, way too old to support with new tools. It's
initial release was over six years, and far too many core libraries,
such as swig and sqlite and python, have not gotten updated to match
subversion requirements.

I'm trying to rebundle an SRPM for 1.6.17 for the RPMforge repository,
and no way am I burning the cycles to get it back to RHEL 4. The
1.7.0beta3 releases will compile well enough on RHEL 5, especially if
you build from an SRPM for 1.6.x first to get most of the dependencies
resolved.

RHEL 5, and Scientific Linux 5, have subversion-1.6.11 available from
the upstream vendor. Would that be enough for you?
