Subversion Binaries and Build Scripts

The Subversion project is very active in publishing regular releases but does not officially endorse or maintain any binary packages of the Subversion software. Instead, you can download binaries from volunteers, including CollabNet which provides Subversion binaries for Windows, Red Hat Linux and Solaris. The advantage of this volunteer system is that Subversion is available for many platforms but the disadvantage is that for certain platforms the availability of Subversion binaries has been spotty or has not stayed in sync with Subversion releases.

The goal of the SVNbinaries project on openCollabNet is to create binaries for a wide range of platforms and ensure continuity through the support of a community, rather than individuals. Next to creating Subversion binaries we will work on improving build scripts and we'll ensure that bindings for many languages are available for download.

This project is the community, if you are interested in the downloads that are created by the community, go to the downloads section of openCollabNet.
