SmartSVN - try it!

#1 Unread post by nperlin »

In the recent heat wave of SVN questions I think it maybe helpful to remind another alternative to subversion, a SmartSVN with GUI , which has been mentioned by rsignell in an earlier post (see
viewtopic.php?t=529
)

SmartSVN could be obtained at http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/ , it is only requirement is to have java (JRE 1.4.1 or higher) installed on
your system. It worked great for me - I got the smartsvn-2_1_8 package,
unzipped and untared it, then went to smartsvn-2_1_8/bin directory and modified
the script smartsvn.sh. You need to set a JAVA_HOME variable in that scipt, for example, JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java, or, as in
my case, JAVA_HOME=/usr/jre1.5.0_12 .
The script smartsvn.sh is now the runscript for smartsvn that opens a separate graphic window.
I hope this could be helpful.

I am trying to download ROMS-3.0 code using smartsvn on windows platform. But i am getting following error
svn: PROFIND request failed on '/svn/src/trunk'
svn:www.myroms.org

I had given the following url for Enter SVN URL https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk

Then, clicked next
then, I gave username 'nageswararao' and password of my roms account
then, I click next, while processing it gave the above error.

Can anybody tell me why it was happened and how can recover from it?

Thanks in advance.

With regards,

I checked the logs and the only attempt I see from your user name to retrieve https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk looks like it was made in a web browser. Have you been able to download the code via SVN in the past?

Yes, I had tried through the smart svn only.
Once I will let u know what I had did.
First I had downloaded .exe file of smartsvn and run on windows with administrator password. Then it asked to create new module. Then I had given the current directory path, then next it asked for respository profile. In that I had given access method as HTTPS and I had entered SVN URL. It appeared that server name is www.myroms.org and respository path as /svn/src/trunk, server port as default. Then I had clicked next. Then it asked for username and password. I had given then while verifying connection it showed the error
svn: PROFIND request failed on '/svn/src/trunk'
svn:www.myroms.org
Am I doing right? I think I am right. Then, why that error is coming. But when I had given https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk in the internet address bar I am able to see the directories. What is the reason?

Thanks in advance.
