Tim,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was it. Although I never knowingly upgraded the workspace to newer version of svn, I must have unknowingly selected some option in my IDE and that would have upgraded, because the svn utilities in Ubuntu is still at version 1.5.4. So, the only other software that could have touched this folder is my IDE, which must be having a newer svn client software embedded with it.

Although I had read the FAQ, it never struck me that I had to actually lower the version of my working copy. I was always trying to upgrade the working copy version using the utility referenced in that FAQ. After your response, I tried to lower the version to 1.5 by running it like this:

*change-svn-wc-format.py . 1.5*

and that fixed the issue.

Thank you once again,
Sahoo

I believe that Justin is correct, but I've seen that error message also.

I think that any version svn client can create a *new* working copy from
any version svn server.

However, if you check out a working copy with a newer svn client, then
try to access that same working copy with an older svn client, you may
see that error message, depending on what new features have been added.

I ran into this problem when I had a newer svn client (via Eclipse
Subversive) that created working copies that my system svn client (Red
Hat 5) didn't understand.

[I have changed the subject]

Justin,

That used to be my understanding as well until I started encountering the following error while trying to update my Felix workspace using svn 1.5.4:

ss141...@sahoo:/space/ss141213/WS/felix/trunk$ svn info
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'.  You need
to get a newer Subversion client, or to downgrade this working copy.
See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
for details.

Thanks,
Sahoo

Sahoo-
That's not how Subversion works. Every (released) version of the
subversion
client will work with any (released) version of a subversion server.

Hi Felix,

Because I have an older version of svn on my ubuntu 9.0.4 box, I am
not
able to check out Felix sources at this point of time. Ubuntu repo
contains
svn 1.5.4, but that's too old for svn workspace used by Felix. While
I am
trying to resolve that issue, I would like to try out the latest
SNAPSHOT of
web console. Would you mind making it available along with the
sources in
the SNAPSHOT repo?

Thanks,
Sahoo

Hi all

Now that the major part of the JQuery UI rewrite has been done, we
only
have a single issue left targeted for the Web Console 3.0.0 release
[1].
There a number of other issues open for the Web Console [2] which
are
not targeted yet.

I propose to cut a release of the following bundles early this
weekend
or early next week:

  Web Console 3.0.0
  Event Plugin 1.0.2        (adapted for JQuery UI)
  Memory Usage Plugin 1.0.0 (new plugin)
  UPNP Plugin 1.0.0         (new plugin)

So if you think that one of the open issues [2] should make it into
the
3.0.0 release, please tell us (and a patch makes things easier).

Thanks and Regards
Felix
