Welcome Apple Developers

The Subversion Mac OS X installer contains a full Subversion package, with client, server, Apache, and the language bindings.

The Mac OS X binaries for Subversion are maintained as part of a community project on openCollabNet, SVNbinaries. This community focuses on the creation of Subversion binaries, an activity that is not part of the Subversion open source project itself. To kick-start this community, CollabNet seeded it with Mac OS X client for Subversion.
