I'd expect the wandisco packaged versions to have reasonable
stability, and was hoping for something that would need nothing but
'yum update' to maintain for many years in the future - and would like
to jump to 1.8 if possible. I see wandisco does have mod_dav_svn
built for RHEL/Centos6 along with the 1.8 subversion rpms. Using
CentOS 6.x would be an alternative, but I'd like to get as much life
out of this system as possible.
