<p>My development server (CentOS 5) is running Subversion 1.4.2, and I wish to upgrade it to 1.5.  I have read in various blogs and documents scattered around the web that this may be done by using RPMForge.  I have followed the instructions found on <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge?action=show&amp;redirect=Repositories%2FRPMForge" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CentOS Wiki</a>, including installing yum-priorities and setting my priorities as indicated (1 and 2 for core repo sources, and 20 for RPMForge).</p>

<p>However, when I attempt to run:</p>

<pre><code>$ yum info subversion
</code></pre>

<p>the version number given to me is still 1.4.2, with a status of Installed.  My other option at this point is compiling from source, but I would like to find a package-managed solution for ease of future upgrades.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

If you install
RPMForge
's repos, you should then be able to get a newer package - this isn't working for you?
You should see rpmforge.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d with a line like:
```
```
repomd http://apt.sw.be redhat/el$(VERSION)/en/$(ARCH)/dag
```
```
I just tested on a clean CentOS 5 install, and
```
yum check-update
```
shows
```
```
subversion.i386                          1.5.2-0.1.el5.rf       rpmforge
subversion-perl.i386                     1.5.2-0.1.el5.rf       rpmforge
```
```
So check your sources list and run check-update again.
Edit: Whoops, lost part of my answer.  Added it back above.
