I was attempting to download the source code for chukwa as mentioned in http://incubator.apache.org/chukwa/source-repository.html with the following command.
$ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/chukwa site I ran into the following SVN warnings: $ $ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/chukwa chukwa-src A chukwa-src/dist A chukwa-src/trunk <snap> A chukwa-src/tags/release-0.1.2/bin/stop-agents.sh A chukwa-src/tags/release-0.1.2/bin/systemDataLoader.sh svn: warning: W200000: Error handling externals definition for 'chukwa-src/site/author/src/documentation/skins': svn: warning: W170000: URL 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/site/author/src/documentation/skins' at revision 1464129 doesn't exist Checked out revision 1464070. $ Then with a quick search, I came across the conversation on these SVN warnings on the subversion-users mailing list - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-users/201302.mbox/browser As per Geoff Hoffman's post here<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-users/201302.mbox/%3ccagnqu86-juwo96n3d+8ydvx5uo7vhznpshf3tfnvjp6afjs...@mail.gmail.com%3E>, I believe running `svn propset svn:externals <svn-url>` would fix these SVN warnings. I do not have commit rights, so I humbly request anyone with commit rights to look into this. Thank you, Sangeeth
