Question

I need to export some project from a repo at my work, im using a different machine that I have not usually use, and have discovered that using the command line im having some troubles checking out and listing the repo,

so for testing purposes I use:

$ svn export http://linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/BOOK

and get this response

svn: OPTIONS of ‘http://linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/BOOK’: 200 OK (http://linuxfromscratch.org)

same response if i just use

$ svn list http://linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/BOOK

so…

• what is the

200 OK

• also, for my real export, i need to provide username and password, so how would the export command look like?

thanks a lot!

Answer 1

That URL doesn’t appear to exist:

$ curl -I http://linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/BOOK
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

This, however, does work:

svn export svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk

Your subversion client should prompt you for a username and password when you attempt the export.
