-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi!
(Sorry, this might be a bit longer to read, but I really want to make my points clear...) Currently (as of 2012-08-26) duck.debian.net shows me 9301 binary packages with URL issues, resulting from 4318 source packages. I took a closer look and noticed the following (just taking package icedove-bidiui as an example): icedove-bidiui [1] is built by source package bidiui [2] which contains the collowing control file: Source: bidiui Section: mail Priority: optional Maintainer: Debian Hebrew Packaging Team <debian-hebrew-pack...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Uploaders: Baruch Even <bar...@debian.org>, Lior Kaplan <kap...@debian.org>, Shachar Shemesh <shac...@debian.org>, Tzafrir Cohen <tzaf...@debian.org> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), zip, unzip, perl Standards-Version: 3.9.1 Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui/ Homepage: http://bidiui.mozdev.org/mail/ Package: icedove-bidiui ... ... There Vcs-Svn: points to svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui and Vcs-Browser points to http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui/ Using the Vcs-Browser link, my browser ultimately points to http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui/, so there must be some rewrite rule/vhost config/magic fairy to make this work - So Vcs-Browser _works!_ Using the svn cli too, i get: skainz@zidpc9027:~$ svn info "svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui" svn: No repository found in 'svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui' _BUT_: After changing svn://svn.debian.org/... to svn://anonscm.debian.org/... makes it work again: skainz@zidpc9027:~$ svn info "svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui" Path: bidiui URL: svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew/pkg/bidiui Repository Root: svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/debian-hebrew Repository UUID: 682e114d-45fc-0310-b2b6-9171eff3cb32 Revision: 987 Node Kind: directory Last Changed Author: kaplan Last Changed Rev: 864 Last Changed Date: 2011-04-04 22:50:45 +0200 (Mon, 04 Apr 2011) skainz@zidpc9027:~$ So I took a look into the DUCK database and found about 2500 broken SVN urls, which follow this schema. I Actually identified 2 different types of debian-based SVN-url: 1: svn://svn.debian.org/<foo> which works after changing to svn://svn://anonscn.debian.org/<foo> 2: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/<bar> which works after changing to svn://anonscm.debian.org/<bar> After generating a new list with the presumably correct svn url, I get no more errors concerning SVN repos. So it seems as browsing the svn tree is ok, because HTTP-based rewrites work, but svn:// access doens not, because of a missing rewrite rule ( if that is even possible in svn:// protocol). Fact is, this ultimately breaks debcheckout, which relies on the Vcs-Svn/Git/... url. I ask you for suggestions how to eventually fix this ( I could mass-file bugs, that would be ok), or if there is something more to it, which I didn't see.
