Did you read the FAQ entry I sent? As you saw in your own post (the output from svn —version), the plaintext cache was missing from your distribution’s binary package. But you can use the script to push a password to the plain text cache. >From Subversion 1.15, much based on your previous threads, we have changed the compile time defaults to once a gain enable the plain text cache (but it is entirely possible that your distribution will disable it). Why plain text you might ask. Well, we have encrypted stores available. But they are not very well suited for scheduled jobs since there is no user to unlock the keyring. And if the keyring is not locked, then there isn’t a big difference compared to storing the password in plain text. Cheers Daniel
