Q:

Where can I find a Subversion 1.7 binary?

Does anybody know of a ppa or source I can get a subverison 1.7 deb?
It was just released yesterday so I'm sure something will show up eventually.  However I figure this will be a good place to post when something is released.

A:

As of Ubuntu 12.10, subversion 1.7 is available as part of the distribution. Subversion can be installed using apt-get.
sudo apt-get install subversion

For earlier versions of Ubuntu, there is a ppa available at subversion-1.7. The repository can be added as follows:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7

To get the latest version of subversion update and upgrade the repository.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I needed to also do a dist-upgrade.
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I'm assuming that you already have subversion installed, if not:
sudo apt-get install subversion

A:

There's also a ppa supported directly by the subversion team: "Subversion" team.
You should be able to add the ppa with the following command:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:svn/ppa

The apt-add-repository command is provided by the python-software-properties package, so make sure to install it first.
Note: RabbitVCS seems to have a problem with subversion 1.7: Rabbitvcs does not mark as versioned subfodlers/files in svn 1.7. This is fixed in the trunk but hasn't (yet) been pushed to a build.

A:

The Wandisco script actually install a new repository which contains the .deb file for installing SVN 1.7.
Almost the same can be accomplish by executing the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://opensource.wandisco.com/ubuntu lucid svn17'
sudo wget -q http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -    
sudo apt-get update    
sudo apt-get install subversion
