I don't know that the problem is with downloading the archive using SVN on Windows and some linux platforms. It might be network configuration related but it is also SVS specific since I can download successfully using CVS on SourceForge through the same machine and network connection. I hope this is something that is corrected in newer versions of SVN. Concerning storing binary files in the Axiom CVS and SVN archives I think we should at least make it work correctly as it is before we consider removing the binary files from the archive since if the parameters are set correctly, this is supposed to work. After it is working properly as is, we can then consider changing it to eliminated the binary files for philosophical and efficiency reasons. In the SourceForge Axiom CVS archive I have set the binary mode for all the *.tgz files in the zips directory using the command: cvs admin -kb as described here: http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Programming/change_management/unix_cvs/PRO GRAMMING_Working_with_Binary_Files.shtml I have also requested a 'refresh' of the SourceForge Axiom SVN from CVS, so that should correct the binary files problem and permit Axiom to be build from the SVN archive. According to SourceForge this might take 2 or 3 hours to complete. (Is SVN really that slow?)
