FreeBSD

Subversion is available as a FreeBSD port under devel/subversion. The most easiest way to install it is

# cd /usr/port/devel/subversion
# make install && make clean

If it is installed for first time it will provide a menu to choose installation options - language bindings, WebDAV support. If you plan to use Subversion with Apache, choose mod_dav_svn as well. If you want to reinstall it again with different options, first invoke the menu with

# make config

It is also possible to install devel/subversion by passing some variables to make directly.

Apache 2.x is available in several flavours on FreeBSD - 2.0 in www/apache20 and 2.2 in www/apache22. Again you can install it with

# cd /usr/ports/www/apache20
# make install && make clean

or

# cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
# make install && make clean

The installation options for www/apache22 can be shown or changed with

# make config

The language bindings are provided by the packages devel/subversion-perl, devel/subversion-python and devel/subversion-ruby.
