Ok thank you! Do I have to uninstall the old one before doing this?

Cool,worked without problems =)
Just two more questions:
What do I have to do if I want to update the SVN? Just delete the XBMC folder and do the hole procedure again?
And how can I create a shortcut so I don't have to go to the terminal and enter xbmc?

1. "svn up". Then continue with step4.
2. google is your friend.

You only need to "svn checkout(co)" once. After that you can just "svn update(up)" to get changes. It would probably do you well to read some on the SVN documentation so you understand what's going on and don't think that it's magic.

I know one way... In the Shutdown menu, accessable from the Home Screen, select "i", Information.

Ah ok, I just found out that I have to go to the folder XBMC and execute "svn up". Do I have something else to do like "make install" or anything?

To get build and install the latest updates,
1. Get latest changes:
svn up
2. Configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse
3. Compile the changes (-j2 only for dual core):
make -j2
4. Install the updated version:
sudo make install
Step 2 isn't required every time, so you can skip it if you are just doing small update.
