If you try to install subversion on CentOS 6, default repositories will install the version 1.6. There are instances that you need version 1.7 upgrade. One use case is if you need a SVN repository for a WSO2 product deployment which includes Carbon Platform 4.2.0 as well as 4.4.x bases products.

Deployment synchronizer

Deployment synchronizer allows you to synchronize deployment artifacts across the nodes of a WSO2 product cluster. If the deployment is based in Carbon 4.2.0 based products, the SVN server has to be either version 1.6 or 1.7. If the deployment is based on Carbon 4.4.x based products, the SVN server has to be either version 1.7 or 1.8.
If you have a deployment with both Carbon 4.2.0 and 4.4.x products, the SVN server has to be 1.7 if we are to use a single SVN for the deployment.

Add new yum repository

Add following to /etc/yum.repos.d/wandisco-svn.repo
[WandiscoSVN]
name=Wandisco SVN Repo
baseurl=http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.7/RPMS/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Run following commands to remove existing installations, add the new repository and install subversion
yum clean all
yum remove subversion
yum install epel-release
yum install subversion
