My ISP uses a proxy firewall, and SVN will not work thru it or around it.
Requests for the proxy to accomodate subversion have brought no action.
I finally found tips for using subversion through an http firewall at:
http://www.bluemarsh.com/java/subversion.html,
Desproxy homepage is http://desproxy.sourceforge.net, and downloads are at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/desproxy. Packages are available for many
distributions.
The following schemes for svn checkout and update work for me. Each task
could probably be put into a single script by running desproxy as a
background process. I haven't tried that yet.
#===================================
# checkout
# in xterm1, as root:
desproxy svn.freepascal.org 80 proxy3.webstorm.co.za 8080 1023
# in xterm2, as root:
. cdsvn # change to svn directory
svn co http://localhost:1023/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
svn co http://localhost:1023/svn/lazarus/trunk/ lazarus
cd fixes
svn co http://localhost:1023/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_0 fpc
# in xterm1, as root:
ctrl-C
#===================================
# update
# __NOTE__:
# The url used during checkout is stored in each ".svn/entries" file,
# so desproxy setup for update must be identical to that of checkout.
# in xterm1, as root:
desproxy svn.freepascal.org 80 proxy3.webstorm.co.za 8080 1023
# in xterm2, as root:
. cdsvn # change to svn directory
svn update fpc
svn update lazarus
cd fixes
svn update fpc
# in xterm1, as root:
ctrl-C
#===================================
Thanks to Miguelanxo Otero Salgueiro for creating desproxy, and to
Nathan for his tips at http://www.bluemarsh.com/java/subversion.html,
