deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6/ubuntu intrepid main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6/ubuntu intrepid main
