Thanks for the utility, had already resolved the problems with the PATH
just thought I should let you know.
Is the part below in the error just to do with the certificate, or
something else?
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svnroot/vim/vim7'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svnroot/vim/vim7': Could not read status line: Secure
connection truncated (https://svn.sourceforge.net)
svn returned error(s). Press Enter to continue, Ctrl-C to stop
Also what does it mean by manually validating the certificate, it is not
relevant to this install, but just wondering if anyone out there knows
what it means?
Error validating server certificate for
'https://svn.sourceforge.net:443':
- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
Certificate information:
- Hostname: *.sourceforge.net
- Valid: from Jan 17 18:17:01 2007 GMT until Mar 18 18:17:01 2008 GMT
- Issuer: Equifax Secure Certificate Authority, Equifax, US
- Fingerprint:
a1:3a:51:83:60:5e:81:07:be:6c:06:d1:db:34:9b:d8:b9:40:b5:d0
(R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently? p
Robert,
Regarding PROPFIND error. Several users reported this failure on 1st try and
then it works on the 2nd try. This never happened to me. Probably because
I use relatively recent verion of svn client. I believe this is some bug in
older svn client. WHich OS and version of svn client is yours (svn --version).
Regarding the certificate. Again, newer version of svn client recognizes
Equifax as valid certification authority. OLder version of svn, apparently,
does not.
