Upgrading to Subversion 1.7 in Ubuntu

Just a quick post this time. I recently had to upgrade the Subversion (SVN) software on my Ubuntu system to version 1.7. This version is (currently) not included in the regular Ubuntu distribution, but I found the solution in an Ubuntu forum thread - simply run this in a terminal:


echo "deb http://opensource.wandisco.com/ubuntu lucid svn17" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/svn.list
sudo wget -q http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
