Bug ID: 221070
Summary: Handbook points users to use https with subversion,
but https does not work
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]

The handbook points users to use the HTTPS protocol for retrieving the FreeBSD
source code with subversion. The two instances I found were:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/svn.html
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html
Currently using http:// fails with various messages depending on the day it
seems. Sometimes it complains about depth, sometimes that the hostname is not
available.
Using svn:// instead of https:// corrects the issue somewhat, but the svn
protocol is not a robust in my experience.
I have assumed this to be a documentation issue as I have heard nothing about
an official change away from https and my query on the ARM mailing list did not
elicit any responses indicating such a change. However, someone did respond and
tell me they also had to switch away from https a few weeks ago.
