Trying to SVN Checkout Open Source BitSharp Library

Question

I am having some trouble trying to checkout the BitSharp source code using SVN. When I try to checkout http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/bitsharp/src, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included - I get the message:

Repository moved permanently to '/viewvc/trunk/bitsharp/src/'; please relocate

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Sounds like it's telling you to append a / to the URL you're now using, right after src -- have you tried that?

Edit: now I tried and checked carefully to make sure that's indeed the problem -- but it doesn't get you a solution; at least the svn 1.4.4 I have (it seems) strips the trailing slash from the svo co even if you specify it. svn's problems with trailing slash URLs were supposed to be resolved several minor versions ago, but it looks like that's not necessarily true:-(. svnbook is down right now so I can't research how to get past that trailing-slash problem...:-(

Do you maybe have some alternative SVN client you could try...?

Answer 2

It is problem of Apache configuration described in

Answer 3

You're using the wrong url. The url you're using points to the web access provided by ViewVC, not the svn repository.

If you check the url http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/ you'll see that the repository itself is accessible via these urls:

svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono

http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono

Answer 4

I used http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/bitsharp/, with success.
