Yes, I understand that. > The other sections on that page use the information from <connection> and > <developerConnection> > There should not be any problems if users read the web site carefully… Sadly, that is often not the case... (otherwise the RTFM acronym would not exist!) And even if they do, it's not made particularly obvious that the URL is not suitable for SVN client access. The section says: "The following is a link to the online source repository." - that could equally apply to SVN clients. The section header says "Web access" but "Web" does not always mean HTTP(S); it's often used loosely to mean Internet. The fixed page text really ought to be clarified. > Benedikt > >> >>> Modified: >>> commons/proper/csv/trunk/pom.xml >>> >>> Modified: commons/proper/csv/trunk/pom.xml >>> URL: >>> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/csv/trunk/pom.xml?rev=1491175&r1=1491174&r2=1491175&view=diff >>> ============================================================================== >>> --- commons/proper/csv/trunk/pom.xml (original) >>> +++ commons/proper/csv/trunk/pom.xml Sun Jun 9 10:18:42 2013 >>> @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ CSV files of various types. >>> <scm> >>> >>> <connection>scm:svn:http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/csv/trunk</connection> >>> >>> <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/csv/trunk</developerConnection> >>> - <url>http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/csv/trunk</url> >>> + <url>http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/csv/trunk</url> >>> </scm> >>> >>> <issueManagement> >>> >>> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
