As I wrote in my first post, most if not all Linux distributions
package Subversion & make it available via their repositories. The
exact details of installing them may vary (yum vs. apt-get, etc.) but
if you can detect which distribution you're running on, you can run
the appropriate commands.
Or, just have your script download, compile & install from source.
You can't use a single binary distribution of Subversion because it
depends upon a number of other libraries & components. Whatever binary
distribution of Subversion you might download is compiled against
specific versions of those libraries, and unless it includes all of
them, you may have incompatible versions in the Linux install you're
using. Tomcat & Maven do not have this constraint because they're
largely Java-based, so you just need a compatible version of Java (and
there's more latitude as far as not needing specific versions of
things).
It is best to pull Subversion from your distribution's own package
repository, or compile it yourself from source.
