The fact that their newest release, 1.2.3, still requires python 2 does not

Thanks to you both.

Somehow, after all these years, I had no idea you could both svn remove and svn 
add a file at the same path without a commit in-between.

How to accept ~ (obstructed by item of a different kind) status files?

2023-02-21 Thread Sean McBride 
Hi all,

Today I hit something I never saw before: a ~ in svn status output.

Indeed, a file that is a symlink in the repo was (deliberately) changed to a 
plain file in my working copy.  I appreciate that this could be a mistake 
generally, but when it's deliberate, how do I signal to svn that it's ok?

I guess I could always: remove, commit, re-add, commit, but can it not be done 
otherwise?

Thanks,

Sean

How much is too much data in an svn repository?

2022-09-22 Thread Sean McBride 
Hi all,

Our svn repo is about 110 GB for a full checkout. Larger on the server of 
course, with all history, weighting about 142 GB.

There haven't been any performance issues, it's working great.

But now some users are interested in committing an additional 200 GB of mostly 
large binary files.

I worry about it becoming "too big".  At what point does that happen?  
Terabytes?  Petabytes?  100s of GB?

Thanks,

Sean

Ryan,

Thanks!  That worked for me.  It was able to install svn 1.14.1 on macOS 
10.13.6.

Even better, it fixed my root issue, which is that since the Sept 30 Let's 
Encrypt certificate expiration, the WANDisco 1.11.1 binaries (for whatever 
reason) fail to `svn up` but it now works with the MacPorts 1.14.1 installation.

this is on macOS 10.13.6.

I guess I should add backstory: I'm currently using WANDisco's binaries, but 
the reason I'm looking to update is because of the Let's Encrypt certificate 
expiring the other day.  I'm not totally sure, but I think the cURL and/or 
OpenSSL/LibreSSL that that svn is using is not dealing well with the expired 
cert.  So I'm looking to try a newer build.

That's a good point.  The WANDisco builds are still useful for old macOS.  I 
retract my suggestion to remove it.  Perhaps just put a note that they are not 
current?

I would still include it, unlike Versions.app it supports things like shelving.

I see.  Do you agree Wandisco's should be removed from the website listing at

svn binary packages for macOS

2021-10-03 Thread Sean McBride 
Hi all,

Not sure who maintains the list of binary packages here:



But you should probably remove WANdisco from the list.  They haven't published 
one since version 1.11.1 in 2019 (for any OS):



That version of course has unfixed security issues, so should not be encouraged.

Alas, that seems to mean there are no other binary distributions for macOS, 
unless anyone knows of any?

If being open source is not required, you could list these two:

Sean

E000013: permission denied: doing 'svnadmin upgrade'

2015-05-02 Thread Sean McBride 
Hi all,

I'm using svn 1.8.13 (WanDisco binaries on OS X 10.10).  I recently upgraded 
from 1.7.x, and the update has been stable for 2 weeks.  So now I've tried an 
'svnadmin upgrade' and it worked on one repo, but on another it gives:

$ svnadmin upgrade .
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; upgrading the repository may take some time...
svnadmin: E13: Can't create temporary file from template 'svn-XX': 
Permission denied

Should I just sudo, or is this a symptom of a real problem?

svn always fails with E120171, but only from some clients

2014-10-24 Thread Sean McBride 
Hi there,

On some computers only, 'svn info' is always giving:

svn: E120171: Error running context: An error occurred during SSL communication

when connecting to our own svn server.  This worked previously, but stopped 
working (I think) after our self-signed certificate expired and was therefore 
replaced.  First we replaced it with another self-signed cert, then we replaced 
it with a purchased wildcard cert.

- I reproduce this with svn 1.8.10 (Wandisco binaries on OS X) on the client.
- Server runs 1.7.18 (Wandisco binaries on OS X).
- I have deleted ~/.subversion on the client, no help.
- I created an entire new user account on the client machine, no help.
- visiting https://my.server.com/path/to/repository in a browser (tried 
several) prompts for authentication, succeeds, and shows the expected files.
- I ran openssl s_client -showcerts -connect my.server.com:443 and it 
reports at the end:
  Verify return code: 0 (ok)

I'm now feeling pretty stuck. :(  Any suggestions on what this problem is, or 
how I can diagnose it further?

PS: First post to this list, please be gentle. :)

Thanks,

Is apache using SSLVerifyClient to require the client to provide a

I'm not too familiar with apache, but I'm going to say no, which I conclude 
from this:

$ cd /Library/Server/Web/
$ grep -R -i SSLVerifyClient *

which finds nothing.

Is that a setting I should want set to something in particular?

The 1.8 client defaults to not prompting for a client cert
if no cert is configured and that will cause the error you report.  See:

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#client-cert-
prompt-suppression

I edited ~/.subversion/config and uncommented ssl-client-cert-file-prompt and 
set it to yes.  Still got E120171.

I see you are @wandisco.  Do your svn binaries have a built-in statically 
linked version of OpenSSL or do they use the OS's version?
