I am trying to install svn in suse linux. I followed this guide http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=devel:tools:scm:svn&package=subversion

I have added the repo, but still I am not able to find the package.

linux-pohb:~ # zypper install subverion
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'subverion' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'subverion' found.

Nothing to do.

Though it shows me the package exists:

linux-pohb:~ # zypper search subversion
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

S | Name           | Summary                            | Type      
--+----------------+------------------------------------+-----------
  | subversion     | Subversion version control system  | srcpackage
  | subversion-doc | Documentation files for Subversion | package   
  | subversion-doc | Documentation files for Subversion | srcpackage

Tried yast too, but didn't find anything for svn except documentation and svni.

Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

I suggest to add a the SDK to your repositories (e.g. download the DVD and add it to the local repositories or add the SUSE Repository): https://www.suse.com/documentation/sled-12/book_sle_deployment/data/sec_add-ons_sdk.html Then you will be able to install:

# zypper search subversion
