** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: subversion
  
  Subversion 1.5.1 is currently in hardy-backports. Subversion 1.6.1
  should be backported to Hardy as well.
  
- Currently, in order to install Subversion 1.6.1 on hardy, it is
- necessary to build it from source, as per the instructions here:
+ Tangible benefits:
+  - the main reason to upgrade is interoperability with other subversion clients: the format for a working directory has changed in 1.6; a 1.6 client will automatically update it to the new format. Ubuntu's version will no longer work once this happens. 
+ - improved conflict handling
+ - improved SSL security and integration with password managers
  
- http://blog.lv25.com/2009/04/build-subversion-16-on-ubuntu-810.html
+ Tools outside of Ubuntu such as Eclipse have upgraded making Jaunty's
+ package unable to work once any of the other tools that have touched the
+ working directory.
