That sinking feeling when things don't quite work and when you don't have a route back is not something I want to experience (again).

I have successfully installed 1.6.3 on my server as first step. My goal is to upgrade the 1.4.5 that I have on my server to 1.6.3. I read it on http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.6_releasenotes.html. It states that “To upgrade an existing installation, just install the newest libraries and binaries on top of the older ones.” Could you please let me know whether it means that I need to copy the latest apr, apr-util etc libs and binaries along with the ones of SVN 1.6.3 over 1.4.5? If so, to what all dirs? Thanks, Stuart Doug,
