How to upgrade SVN server from 1.6 to 1.7

Question

I have SVN 1.6 in server side and TotoriseSVN 1.6 on client side, and want to upgrade to 1.7 for both of them. I think i should start from server side, does anyone know the procedure of upgrading SVN server?

Answer 1

You have to upgrade the existing working copies using the svn 1.7 client binaries.

run the following command for each existing repo.

svn upgrade

Answer 2

According to the Apache Subversion 1.7 Release Notes, you just install the newest libraries and binaries on top of the older ones.

I'd have a good backup of Subversion 1.6 before I tried this.
