      <application>Subversion</application> is a version control system that is
      designed to be a compelling replacement for <application>CVS</application>
      in the open source community. It extends and enhances
      <application>CVS</application>' feature set, while maintaining a similar
      interface for those already familiar with <application>CVS</application>.
      These instructions install the client and server software used to
      manipulate a <application>Subversion</application> repository. Creation of
      a repository is covered at <xref linkend="svnserver"/>.

      First, adapt some Python scripts to use python3:
    </para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">grep -rl '^#!.*python$' | xargs sed -i '1s/python/&amp;3/'</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Next, adapt the Ruby bindings to Ruby-3.2:
    </para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -e 's/File.exists?/File.exist?'                \
    -i subversion/bindings/swig/ruby/svn/util.rb   \
       subversion/bindings/swig/ruby/test/test_wc.rb</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Install <application>Subversion</application> by running the following
      commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>PYTHON=python3 ./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --disable-static          \
            --with-apache-libexecdir  \
            --with-lz4=internal       \
            --with-utf8proc=internal &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      If you have <xref linkend="doxygen"/> installed and you wish to build the
      API documentation, issue:
    </para>

<screen remap="doc"><userinput>doxygen doc/doxygen.conf</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      If you wish to build the Java bindings pass the <option>--enable-javahl</option>
      parameter to the <command>configure</command> command. In addition, if
      you want to run the Java test suite, you have to specify the location
      of the <application>JUnit</application> file by adding
      <option>--with-junit=&lt;path to junit jar&gt;</option> (for
      instance <option>--with-junit=/usr/local/java/lib/junit-4.13.jar</option>)
      to <command>configure</command>. The JUnit jar file is no longer
      included in <xref linkend="apache-ant"/> and must be downloaded
      separately. To build the Java bindings, issue the following command:
    </para>
    <para>
      <screen><command>make -j1 javahl</command></screen>
    </para>

    <para>
      If you want to compile <application>Perl</application>,
      <application>Python</application>, or <application>Ruby</application>
      bindings, issue any of the following command:
    </para>
    <para>
      <screen><command>make swig-pl</command> # for <application>Perl</application>
<command>make swig-py \
     swig_pydir=/usr/lib/python&python3-majorver;/site-packages/libsvn \
     swig_pydir_extra=/usr/lib/python&python3-majorver;/site-packages/svn</command> # for <application>Python</application>
<command>make swig-rb</command> # for <application>Ruby</application></screen>
    </para>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. Four tests in
      the <filename>commit_tests.py</filename>,
      <filename>prop_tests.py</filename>, and
      <filename>update_tests.py</filename> suites are known to fail.
    </para>

    <para>
      To test the results of any of the <application>SWIG</application>
      bindings, you can use any of the following commands:
      <command>make check-swig-pl</command>,
      <command>make check-swig-py</command>, or
      <command>make check-swig-rb</command>.
    </para>

    <para>
      Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
    </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;

cp      -v -R doc/* /usr/share/doc/subversion-&subversion-version;</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      If you built the Java bindings, issue the following command as the
      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user to install them:
    </para>
    <para>
<screen><command>make install-javahl</command></screen>
    </para>

    <para>
      If you built the <application>Perl</application>,
      <application>Python</application>, or
      <application>Ruby</application> bindings, issue any of the following
      commands as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user
      to install them:
    </para>
    <para>
<screen><command>make install-swig-pl</command>
<command>make install-swig-py \
      swig_pydir=/usr/lib/python&python3-majorver;/site-packages/libsvn \
      swig_pydir_extra=/usr/lib/python&python3-majorver;/site-packages/svn</command>
<command>make install-swig-rb</command></screen>
    </para>

    <para>
      The java bindings need to be installed in order for the tests to run,
      since the tests attempt to look for them in CLASSPATH. To test the
      results of the Java bindings build, issue
      <command>LANG=C make check-javahl</command>.
      <!-- ~~ This explanation is added to the configure above ~~
      The <application>JUnit</application> testing framework must be installed,
      and the location of the JUnit jar has to be specified by passing the
      <option>- -with-junit=&lt;path to junit jar&gt;</option> parameter to
      <command>configure</command>. Note that <application>JUnit</application>
      is included in <xref linkend="apache-ant"/>, and can be accessed by
