o-O I have no idea what you mean by mysite.com/svn. Do you have terminal access (ssh) to your server? Otherwise even if you upload the ZIPs from any SVN to your server, it’s pretty much the same as using RC1 (albeit with more bug fixes;)).
If you have shell access, then you (can) also have access to the SVN tools provided by the install by that Unix or Linux distribution, otherwise ask youre hosting provider for it. Then you can easily update through SVN with some simple commands 
@DJPaulI dont have ssh i think, i dont really know, im kinda new to it all, The svn is a one-click-install on Dreamhost.com
When i installed it, i could choose a path to install it in. I couldn’t choose a subdomain, so i went for a directory i.e. http://www.sportsblogger.com/svn/
I have installed it, but when i try to acces that URL i get a 404 page.
Other then that i have no clue what to do or how to do it :S
Do i need to have shell access (ssh right ?) for svn to work ?
Thanx for the replys guys
SVN aka Subversion is a program that is installed on your host so that you can install programs that have their code repositories online easily. Any program (terminal on mac, putty on windows) can connect to your server through SSH. I don\’t know of anyway of installing SVN versions without SSH.
For example, if you have an install like /var/www/html/ for an install, and wanted WPMU as the root domain in that folder, you would do something like the following:
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7/ /var/www/html/
then if you wanted to install buddypress from SVN into your WPMU install:
svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
That just installs everything in the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder like the latest SVN requires. It doesn\’t mean you are finished. You still have to read the README file about the specifics, especially copying the themes to the correct locations. Reason I say this is because at this point, it would be like having all files including the buddypress themes in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ which obviously isn’t complete. Imagine at this point you downloaded BP and just uploaded the entire thing to that location. It is a matter of copying around the themes to where they are supposed to be.

I’m also having trouble with the svn, I do this:
svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
Whoops, it cut me off… I meant to say:
I’m also having trouble with the svn, I do this:
`svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
I don’t know why this keeps cutting my post in half, I’ll give it one more try:
I’m also having trouble with the svn, I do this:
svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/
CONTINUED…
…and everything seems to work:
A /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends.php
etc… etc… etc…
…Checked out revision 1324.
But when I check the plugins folder, Buddypress isn’t there. (I’m using Coda, by the way)
First time using subversion, so I don’t really know what I’m doing.
