RE: [viewvc-users] Error with remote Subversion repositories

Excellent, thanks – that worked perfectly!

 

Oh, and Happy New Year all, that’s certainly a good start to it.

 

Regards,

Phil

Phil, sorry for the delayed response.  You've found a bug in some ViewVC compatibility code.  If you examine the source code to ViewVC, the file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vclib/svn/svn_ra.py has a section of code that looks like this:

def client_log(url, start_rev, end_rev, log_limit, cross_copies,
               cb_func, ctx):
  try:
    client.svn_client_log4([url], start_rev, start_rev, end_rev,
                           log_limit, 1, not cross_copies, 0, None,
                           cb_func, ctx)
  except NameError:
    # Wrap old svn_log_message_receiver_t interface with a
    # svn_log_entry_t one.
   ...

See that "except NameError:" line?  I'm not able to verify this at this time, but I think based on your traceback that that's wrong, and should instead be "except AttributeError:".  If you are able to make that small change to the code on your system, this should cause ViewVC to -- upon detecting that your Subversion Python bindings don't have the svn_client_log4() function (because it's new to Subversion 1.5.0)  -- fall back to using svn_client_log2() instead.

Hi all,

 

Based on the bit in the faq “Enabling this is a fairly simple — just use the URL of the repository where you would use its path in the svn_roots configuration options”, I did just that but I’m getting the following error:

I’m using viewvc 1.1.7, python 2.4 and svn 1.4.2 all on linux.

 

The following is the svn_roots config I’m using.

 

svn_roots = API Layer: /usr/local/subversion/repos/core,

        Web layer: /usr/local/subversion/repos/web,

        Offshore Web: https://web-svn.ourrepositoryurl.co.uk/web,

        Test API: svn://ourserver.us.local/core

 

 

The top 2 work fine.

 

The 3rd is the one I planned to get working.  It’s on a totally separate server.  On the server viewvc is on, if I run svn info https://web-svn.ourrepositoryurl.co.uk/web the info is returned fine, so the server can see it.  The python standalone task is running as the same user as I ran the svn info command with.  It returns the error above.

 

The last is the url address of the first (API Layer) in the svn_roots list.  As the file path for it works fine in viewvc I thought it would be a good test to rule out any inter-server communication problems.  If I run svn info svn://ourserver.us.local/core it also returns the correct info.  However, viewvc returns the same error above.

 

Would anyone know what might be wrong?  Also, are there any logs elsewhere where I might be able to get more info?  I’ve never used apache before so I don’t really know what I’m looking for.

 

Kind regards,

Phil
