Planning a SVN upgrade

Hi -
I am currently planning an upgrade from SVN 1.5 (using svnserve and
ssh tunnel) to SVN 1.8.1 fronted with Apache and webdav using AD for
authNz.
We have about 50 repos. I'll be moving from an older Ubuntu 8 install
to Centos 6 x64.

My thought was I could upgrade the SVN installation in place, bringing
the repo up to 1.8 and then dump those repos and bring them online in
the new environment.

We currently use Eclipse as our IDE and Jenkins as our CI tool with
Nexus as the object repo. I was thinking to leave the upgrade of
Eclipse client and svnkit to the indiviidual so they can decide what
direction to take with their working copies et al. I do not foresee
any changes I would need to make to Jenkins or Nexus.

Has anyone made a jump this large before? Any comments about my upgrade plan?

Thanks!
