Hi,

I tried to import PEWIT svn but the download process always fail at the first step. Look at: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4641/enlistments

On the other and, a checkout on my machine is working:

[user@local ~]$ svn co https://svn.erp5.org/repos/public/pewit/trunk/pmpd A pmpd/mkinstalldirs (...) A pmpd/install-sh U pmpd Révision 13297 extraite. [user@local ~]$

Why this failed ?

By the way, this let me think of a little improvement for ohloh: having a verbosier fail message can help people debug the problem themselves.

Actually I feel powerless and quite annoyed to post such a thread without being able to provide more informations about my problem... Sorry for the noise. :(

hi Kevin,

it was a problem on our end. Sorry about the frustration. Our code crawlers run subversion to fetch the info and since you have an https:// server - it requires us to manually add the certificate (subversion doesn't have an override). One of our servers didn't have the certificate for the site (while most of the other did) - so when we the crawl job got assigned to this unlucky server - boom. If it's any consolation - I too am quite annoyed at this recurring problem. I think we'll bump up the priority to compile our own subversion patched with an "auto-accept-certificate" feature.

Ok, thanks a lot.

I also had the same issue while working on a script to automate some SVN operations. I don't know if the "auto-accept-certificate" feature is intentionnaly not implemented by SVN devs. If not, it could be a good idea to submit them a feature request.
