This guide will go through the installation process of building subversion from source on Solaris 10 machine. These instructions can be ported to almost any platform supported by subversion. Subversion is used in many development areas when losing progress and tracking changes is important. Which is basically all the time.

Enjoy the post and by all means enjoy subversion. You will never look back.
