Cannot checkout sourcecode from SVN?

[Jorg5 (Jörg von Frantzius)]

Hi,

I just tried to checkout the sourcecode of both version 6.7 and 6.8 without success. First I tried it with Eclipse, using SVN Connector “SVNKit 1.3.5 r7406 (SVN 1.6.15 compatible, all platforms”, which gave the error message

Checkout operation for ‘http://dev.vaadin.com/svn/versions/6.7’ failed.
svn: Checksum mismatch for ‘tests/testbench/com/vaadin/tests/layouts/layouttester/VerticalLayoutTests.java’; expected: ‘4358128ef71f76b366f8bdf169fd7f64’, actual: ‘3f1da6a18902c4d8487f61549a53812b’

Then I tried it from commandline, using “svn, Version 1.6.12 (r955767)”, resulting in the following error message

[…]

A 6.8/tests/testbench/com/vaadin/tests/layouts/layouttester/VerticalLayoutTests.java
svn: Unerwartetes Ende der Svndiff-Eingangsdaten

In English that means something like “Unexpected end of Svndiff input data”.

Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be here?

Thanks for any hints,
Jörg

I just tried to checkout the sourcecode of both version 6.7 and 6.8 without success.

Just tried with command line SVN 1.7.2, no problems encountered.

I would first check whether there might be some firewall or proxy between you and dev.vaadin.com that could cause problems for large SVN checkouts.

I just checked and there is no proxy configured. My guess is that SVN 1.7 client is required, but Ubuntu is still at 1.6. I’ll give it a try when this gets more urgent for me (don’t want to run into trouble with my company’s 1.6 server right now…)

From
Subversion 1.7 release notes
:

Older clients and servers interoperate transparently with 1.7 servers and clients. However, some of the new 1.7 features may not be available unless both client and server are the latest version.

Therefore, this should not be the issue, but probably still worth testing.

I just tried again with Eclipse 4 Juno M5 and the SVN connector “SVNKit 1.3.6-v1 r7998 (SVN 1.6.17 compatible, all platforms)”, and now I was able to do the checkout.
