Follow-up question then: How do I configure svn out-of-the-box in order for it to use a password manager that communicates via the command line rather than any existing GUI desktop. As it is now on my newly installed RPi4 I have not modified anything in the config or servers files. And it states this: ------------------------------------------------------ $ svn --version: svn, version 1.14.2 (r1899510) compiled Jan 31 2023, 18:14:10 on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu ... The following authentication credential caches are available: * Plaintext cache in /home/bosse/.subversion * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) ------------------------------------------------------- I assume that the last 3 alternatives are Desktop dependent and use GUI dialog boxes? I'd appreciate it to get a specific direction as to which items to add/change in the default files in $HOME/.subversion/: config and servers, in order for the passwords to be cached in a text-only environment. I.e. how to set them to use a command line interface only? If that is achieved I will add it to my Subversion how-to document and not ask again.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
