Any good Subversion virtual appliance recommendations?

Question

I'm looking for a quick-and-dirty solution to this, I have to set up a Subversion server really quickly, like by the end of the day tomorrow. My initial thought was to just download a virtual appliance that we could load onto our host machine. The problem I am having however is that all the appliances I have found so far are stuck in svn version 1.4 or lower.

Does anybody know of an appliance that has svn 1.5 running? I don't need any of the other bits like issue tracking, WebSVN or any of that stuff.

Thanks, Wally

EDIT: To answer some of the questions, I would prefer for the host OS to be some flavour of Linux so that I can avoid having to purchase an additional Windows license.

Answer 1

You should consider this, it is really ZIRRO friction and it integrates well in various scenarios.
Not to mention it is free of charge.

Answer 2

I would simply go with installing SVN, and using the SVN Daemon, and completely ignoring Apache. There should be no appliance needed. Very simple to install, very easy to configure. Just take a vanilla windows/linux box and install the subversion server. It'll probably take all of 1/2 and hour to set up.

Answer 3

No need to use an appliance, use the free BitNami one click Subversion installer (supports Linux, Windows, Mac...)

Answer 4

I second the Visual SVN Server suggestion. It packages SVN with an Apache server (with SSL support!) and a really nice, easy to use control panel. You can be up in running in less than 10 minutes. It even integrates with Active Directory or your local Windows accounts very nicely.
