SVN Question

Hi all,

A slightly OT question but related to the wp-plugins.org hosting.

While I can access the SVN using http://svn.wp-plugins.org/ using
svn://svn.wp-plugins.org/ doesn't work. Unfortunately the second url
format is required to use SVN from within the kde filesystem (vs.
using a seperate program). Is there any obvious reason that svn://
protocol wouldn't work to the wp-plugins.org SVN server?

Thanks,

Martin

Just a thought but if could be the SVN service/daemon is not run for  
security reasons. Many SVN sites install only the portion to allow  
SVN via port 80 (HTTP).  Having one does not always mean the other.  
Though they can both be run on the same server.

Yep, a very obvious one, svnserve must be running to use the svn:// protocol.

You may have luck asking someone to set up access via svn://, you may not.

Thanks Robert (& Paul) that answers the question.  I can live without
it - everyone else appears to be managing just fine.  I'll just need
to spend a bit of time with the svn software - in the long run it
probably helps to know what's going on.

Thanks again,

Martin

Does Konqueror support a dav:// protocol?

To be honest I'm not sure. Entering an url with dav:// protocol starts
a search (locate:dav// ) rather than actually attempting to open
anything - but it may be that I need a valid url to test.

actually, if you search for "svn http kioslave" the first result is a
bunch of C++ in a mail that contains exacty this; the generic way to
specify such locations is fileprotocol+transportprotocol:// (there is
also svn+ssh, for instance); kde doesn't know you are trying to browse a
SVN repo if it only sees http:// (although it could make an educated
guess, bzr-svn for instance first checks if there is a bzr branch at the
URL, then looks for a SVN branch in a similar situation)
