Thanks for your reply Phil. I set my ~/.subversion file with http proxy information and when i tried the following, it succeeded -
#> svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk subversion Based on this i infer that my SVN ports are not blocked by the proxy. Next i upgraded to cvs-1.12.10 which has support for http proxy tunnelling. When i ran this ... #> ./usr/bin/cvs '-d:pserver;proxy=xx.xx.xx.com ;proxyport=8080:[email protected]:/cvsroot/config' co -D "20050701 UTC" config the command returned with this error "cvs [login aborted]: proxy server xx.xx.xx.com:8080 does not support http tunnelling" So i infer CVS-over-http tunnelling is not possible on my network ...but SVN works directly. So thats one good news and one bad ! I will try other options mentioned -- using sources of available distributions and using released tarballs (and also pursue my case with the network admin ;) ) --RK On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 6:49 PM, Phil Blundell <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't think anybody is publishing a comprehensive set of SCM-derived > source tarballs.
