Updating to SVN 1.8 for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite
Mac OS X 10.10 has just been released, but it is still running SVN 1.7.
Here is a simple tutorial to upgrade it to the latest 1.8 version, based on http://samoldak.com/updating-to-svn-1-8-for-mac-os-x-10-8/
Note: in order to compile and install SVN 1.8 you will need Xcode and its command line tools (available from the Apple developers downloads).
Open your terminal, and change user for root by typing
sudo -s
Create a symbolic link to your Xcode toolchain:
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.10.xctoolchain
Download SVN 1.8 sources
cd ~/Downloads/
curl -o subversion-1.8.9.tar.gz http://archive.apache.org/dist/subversion/subversion-1.8.9.tar.gz
tar -xvf subversion-1.8.9.tar.gz
Compile SVN 1.8 from sources
cd ~/Downloads/subversion-1.8.9
sh get-deps.sh serf
cd serf/
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-serf=/usr/local/serf
make
make install
Your system should now report using SVN 1.8.9
svn --version
