I've tried installing the newest version of SVN but nothing is working.

On yum there is 1.7. When downloading rpm/zip error occurs when trying to configure. Setting some additional repositories failed also.

Does anybody have a proven way on how to do it?

Step 0 : Remove old version of subversion (if already installed)

#yum remove subversion

Step 1: Setup Yum Repository

Create a new repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/wandisco-svn.repo and add following content 

[WandiscoSVN]
name=Wandisco SVN Repo
baseurl=http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/svn-1.8/RPMS/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Step 2: Install Subversion Package 

# yum clean all
# yum install subversion

Step 3: Verify Subversion Version 

# svn --version


svn, version 1.8.13 (r1667537)
   compiled Apr  2 2015, 15:54:41 on i686-pc-linux-gnu

    Under CentOS 7, I also had to do a yum remove subversion-libs in order for the install to succeed. – sakra Dec 22 '17 at 13:25
  • Not a big deal, but the link is broken. Currently your only options are svn-1.10 and svn-1.11 where you have svn-1.8 – Jon McClung Feb 25 '19 at 21:21

For those automating this upgrade in puppet:

case $::osfamily {
  'RedHat': {
    case $::operatingsystemmajrelease {
      # normally centos 7 has svn 1.7
      '7': {
        yumrepo { "Wandisco SVN Repo":
          name     => 'wandisco-svn',
          baseurl  => 'http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/svn-1.8/RPMS/$basearch/',
          gpgcheck => 0,
          enabled  => 1,
        } ->
        exec { 'Remove subversion-libs from 1.7':
          path    => ['bin', '/usr/bin'],
          command => 'rpm -e --nodeps subversion-libs subversion',
          onlyif  => 'rpm -q subversion-libs',
        } ->
        package { 'subversion':
          ensure => '1.8.19-1',
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
