Subversion and svnX client

External Since: Sep 07, 2005 Posts: 4

Hello Everyone,

My current environment:

Mac OSX 10.4.8
2 x 2.66 GHz Duel-Core Intel Xeon
2 GB Memory

Subversion 1.4.3 (DarwinPorts)
svnX 0.9.9

My old enrivonment

Mac OSX 10.4.8
PowerBook G4
1 GB Memory
Subversion 1.3.2
svnX 0.9.9

Server:
Mac OS X Server 10.4.8
XServe G5
Subversion 1.3.2

I recently switched to my new environment and have been having trouble
getting subversion and svnx to work properly. I load up svnx which
the path in which it looks for subversion to the path for the
darwinport of subversion. I then try to setup it up to access a
currently existing reporistory (that was created with subversion
1.3.2) using http. The repository is on a server. The problem svnX
freezes on me and won't let me do anything. Eventually I have to
resort to force quitting to kill the application. Does anyone know
what might be causing this?

Some more information that might be helping:

1) I could access the repository on my old setup
2) I tried my new setup with different versions of subversion such non-
DarwinPort packages and lower number version (1.3.1, 1.4.2 etc)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jeff

Hi,
I have pretty much the same setup save the machines I use are both
G4's but I do use the same versions of Subversion and svnX. I access
repositories either locally (file:///....) and some on Linux servers
but also via file:/// since I mount their drive locally via afp. The
repositories are also accessable via http:// (not https://) but this
does not seem to work and neither does svn+ssh, there seems to be a
permission problem. Anyway I have not had the problem you mention. I
did not use ports to get the binaries but followed the instructions in
in svnX and they are in /usr/local/bin. I have not had the lockup
problems you described. It either works or fails (with an error
dialog) right away.

How are you accessing the server's files ? (https:// svn+ssh .... ).
