SVN Not Working

Hi,

Trying to log into SVN to download latest bug fix for workflow and all I get is:

svn: RA layer request failed
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/nextgen/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/svn/nextgen/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://zev.ez.no)

Which is a subversion error I have never seen. I also cannot find an example of it in the subversion mailing lists.

Regards,
Willie

Svn is sometimes not available from ez. I usually try browsing to:

http://zev.ez.no/svn/nextgen/

before updating my svn. If svn is up then your update should be fine.

I've seen errors like this before with my svn. Don't worry about it.

Yes, we had another svn crash today....

It should be up again within minutes now.

Since we have a lot of problems with the svn, we have the following plan:
- upgrade to latest svn in the near future (0.28 was released today)
- Create a svn mirror which all of you with read-only access can use.

Now I get a 403, have you guys blocked it off again to stop it crashing? With svn in the state it is we should have an svn status page set up.... :-)

There is a svn status now on this page:

http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/installation_and_configuration/installation/manual/getting_the_latest_ez_publish_source

It would be better to have an announcement forum for issues like this.

The last i heard was that svn itself was causing lots of problems under load. This means ez cannot work with it if others are downloading all the time. Svn 0.28 was due to be installed (currently its 0.23) but i don't know if this would make any difference...

Svn is still alpha software... Some months away from being 1.0, from the subversion.tigris.org page.

eZ,

Any change of rsyncing the svn contents to another server and then allowing read only from that for end users..It could be an hourly job no need for hot sync

or..

set aside a time say 4am when svn is made available for 2 hours, we can then set cron jobs to update whilst you sleep.

Please let us know as we rely on SVN to see updates.

The svn was closed again due to many problems with having it open externally.
We will open it again as soon as we upgrade it to 0.28.

We suspect the problem is that some people are using a client with different version number than the server which causes the server to crash somehow.
The newest version of svn (0.28) has some checking of client version and should remedy this problem.

We are also thinking about creating a read-only repository for external checkouts,
this will reduce both the load on the server and the bandwith used.

0.29 is out since yesterday! Get it!!

There's a couple of bugs in my rev, I know of being fixed by now...
I'd love to have the current version sooooo badly ;(

BTW: What is the best way to update ones eZP installation with svn? Would it be save to checkout into the already existing installation, which is not a svn checkout directory?
I definitely need to preserve my overrides and .appends!

Thanks guys!
