Hello everyone.

I'm a new participant here at OpenCores, and have not been able to figure out how to browse the repository with TortoiseSVN or upload a new project.

I've used CVS, SVN, and git before, but only to get source code to build various programs. This is the first time where I've wanted to use SVN to establish a new project, so I am assuming any problems are my fault. I become stalled out at the point where I attempt to browse the repository at OpenCores with TortoiseSVN.

I installed TortoiseSVN. I attempted to use the "repo browser" to connect to my new (empty) project, which was approved here on OpenCores in early June. I saw a box with "" target="_blank">http://opencores.org:80> Subversion repository Requests a username and a password"

After entering my username and password for OpenCores, it presents the box again, with username and password empty. I entered the information again. And, again. And again. It goes on for a long time this way.

I switched to "SVN checkout", and after three rounds of the box, I got the following message.


Checkout from http://opencores.org/ocsvn/microwave_engineering_project_bit_error_rate_tester/microwave_engineering_project_bit_error_rate_tester/trunk, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
OPTIONS of
'http://opencores.org/ocsvn/microwave_engineering_project_bit_error_rate_tester/microwave_engineering_project_bit_error_rate_tester/trunk':
authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic
challenge (http://opencores.org)


I figured that the error must be because the project is empty, or a separate login and password is required for OpenCores SVN? I didn't receive any updated credentials when the project was approved.

Maybe I'm formatting the link to the repository incorrectly?

I used the format of the example link located at http://opencores.org/opencores,svn

"http://opencores.org/ocsvn/smii/smii/trunk"

I used three different Windows computers, with three different versions of the Windows operating systems, with three different downloads and installs of Tortoise.

I then tried the example link to see if the problem was possibly because my project is empty, and one cannot browse empty projects.

The same thing happened - three boxes of usename and password and the same failure notice.

I tried http://opencores.org/ocsvn/smii/smii/trunk in a web browser and got the same result.

I picked a random project, used their project name instead of smii in the repository browser, and it failed too.

I certainly feel kind of stupid here, not even being able to figure out how to browse my own empty project, and I hope that the problem is something really simple that I'm doing wrong or missing.

Welcome to the club. Perhaps help will get posted on my or your thread! Or placed on the website!!!

And you're an expert compared to me :-)

it's a bit hard to say that, it should work as you wrote. the links you posted are working for me as they should. i checked my own project, same link structure, so no URL error. tried to log in with the webbrowser, no problem, as it was usual it works with your normal opencores username and password, so there is no server error at the time i writing this.

browsing an empty repository works also (would be strange if it would not work).

i was using for my own project linux svn and windows tortoise with success.

seems strange to me your problem at the moment, as you are able to log-in to opencores and write messages here, you should definitely be able to browse/use svn

http://opencores.org/ocsvn/microwave_engineering_project_bit_error_rate_tester/microwave_engineering_project_bit_error_rate_tester/trunk/

I asked my coding partner to get an account on OpenCores, and asked him to install Tortoise.

We both attempted to check out the empty project. We used a completely different computer, and a fresh installation of Tortoise.

His credentials worked, and mine did not.

I can log in to OpenCores, I can post in the forum. However, I cannot do anything with SVN. My coding partner can log in to OpenCores, and seems to be able to do everything with SVN A-ok.

I have the same problem as you...

SVN seems to be down this morning. I can't check out at the moment, and could yesterday.

You may want to join IRC at freenode.net, channel #opencores. There are usually people there who can help.

Hey,

How often is the svn down? I never get any svn access, there were always the same problems as mentioned above. I tried kdesvn, command line, eclipse plugins and tortoise in a Win 7 virtualbox. So I really think that there is something wrong with the server. Has anybody found a solution?

Hi Fabian

SVN is usually fine for me. Just occasionally the server crashes.

Jeremy

Hey Jeremy,

Thanks for your answer! What do you think, how often is the server down? Is it up today? I tried it a few times today without any success. Btw. I also tried to use a browser (firefox and opera). It's always the same: Either I am asked for my login in an endless loop or login fails. I also tried another local user account and a different machine (but in the same network). There was no success at all.
I am really helpless now

Hi Fabian,

I haven't been working on OpenRISC for a few days, but no one else has said anything, so I presume all is OK.

Best place to discuss this is on IRC. Channel #opencores at freenode.net. All sorts of people there who can help you.

HTH

So, the IRC really helped (Thanks btw!). The problem was, that my login name contains a capital letter. Since the website seems not to be case sensitive at the login, it accepts a 'wrong' login name, but the SVN server is more strict here. Perhaps this hint will help others to get svn access.
