Will ubuntu support subversion1.7 and when will it be?

Question

Since svn is the most widely used centralized source collaboration repository: are there plans for supporting the current version (1.7) out of the box in the near future?

Answer 1

$ rmadison -u ubuntu -s quantal subversion
subversion | 1.7.5-1ubuntu2 |       quantal | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc

Looks like 12.10 has version 1.7.5 of Subversion in the repository already.

Now, if you are asking whether 12.04 and the older versions would have the latest version, I would say no.
