I want to know if my server is running suberversion 1.5.
How can I find that out?
Also would be nice to know my svn client version number.
svn help. Hasn't been helpful
Note: I don't want my project's revision number, etc. This question is about the subversion software itself.
The following on the command line should give you the version number
svn --version
For a http-based server there is a python script to find the server version at: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/client-side/server-version.py
You can get the client version with
`svn --version`
svnserve --version
in case of svnserve-based configuration (svn:// and svn+xxx://).
(For completeness).
To find the version of the subversion REPOSITORY you can:
Now for the subversion CLIENT:
svn --version
will suffice
Here's the simplest way to get the SVN server version. http works even if your SVN repo requires https.
$ curl -X OPTIONS http://my-svn-domain/ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head>...</head> <body>... <address>Apache/2.2.11 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.6 PHP/5.2.9-4 ...</address> </body>
</html>
In order to get the version number for your Subversion server, type this into the command line on the server:
svnadmin --version
To get your Subversion client version, type this into the command line
svn --version
For a svn+ssh configuration, use ssh to run svnserve --version on the host machine:
$ ssh user@host svnserve --version
It is necessary to run the svnserve command on the machine that is actually serving as the server.
You can connect to your subversion server using http and find the version number in the http header.
If the Subversion server version is not printed in the HTML listing, it is available in the HTTP RESPONSE header returned by the server. You can get it using this shell command
wget -S --spider 'http://svn.server.net/svn/repository' 2>&1 | \
grep 'SVN' | sed 's/.*\(SVN[0-9\/\.]*\).*/\1/';
