1. Platform and configuration

Product: CollabNet Subversion client
Platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases 4 and 5 (all versions, 32 bit) 

Prerequisite: You must be a superuser (root) to install and uninstall 
CollabNet Subversion.


2. Import CollabNet GPG key

CollabNet Subversion RPMs are signed using our GPG key. As a one-time task,
import the CollabNet GPG key using the command:

    sudo rpm --import /path/to/RPM-GPG-KEY-csvn.asc

The CollabNet GPG key is available for download at:
http://www.collab.net/nonav/downloads/subversion/gpg-key/RPM-GPG-KEY-csvn.asc


3. First installation

The command to install the CollabNet Subversion RPM, if a previous version
has not already been installed, is:

    sudo rpm -ivh /path/to/client.rpm


4. Updating an existing installation

If you have a previous version of the CollabNet Subversion client RPM installed,
update to the new version by running this command:

    sudo rpm -Uvh /path/to/client.rpm

If you also have a previous version of the CollabNet Subversion server RPM
installed, add the --force option to the command:

    sudo rpm -Uvh --force /path/to/client.rpm


5. Post-installation instructions

A. CollabNet Subversion installs into /opt/CollabNet_Subversion, which is
   probably not on the executable search path for your system. Add the directory 
   /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin to your $PATH environment variable. In order to 
   make this change affect all users of your system and persists across reboots, 
   add the following line to /etc/profile:

    PATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin:$PATH

B. CollabNet Subversion provides man pages and localizations for several
   languages. To take advantage of these features, update your MANPATH and/or 
   LOCPATH environment variables to include the CollabNet Subversion directories.  
   For example:

    export MANPATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/share/man:$MANPATH
    export LOCPATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/share/locale:$LOCPATH
