Michael Osipov reassigned MPIR-280:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Michael Osipov
> Clarify that Web Access SCM link is not suitable for SCM checkout
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPIR-280
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPIR-280
> Project: Maven Project Info Reports Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scm
> Affects Versions: 2.7
> Reporter: SebbASF
> Assignee: Michael Osipov
>
> The details for the viewvc section say (for example):
> >>>
> Web Access
> The following is a link to the online source repository.
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/lang/trunk
> <<<
> This has been taken by some readers to imply that the URL is suitable for SVN
> client access, and there have been complaints on mailing lists when it does
> not work.
> It would be useful to clarify the text to reduce user frustration and
> unnecessary mailing list traffic.
> The text "The following is a link to the online source repository." applies
> equally to a proper SVN link. It does not indicate that URL is intended for
> Web Brower (HTTP) access only.
> The section header "Web Access" does not really help either, as "Web" is
> often used as a synonym for "Internet".
> I can see how readers who don't know about ViewVC could easily not notice
> that distinction.
> I suggest that the default text is changed as follows:
> report.scm.webaccess.title=Web Server (HTTP) Access
> report.scm.webaccess.url=
> The following is a link to a browsable version of the source repository.
> Please use the "Anonymous Access" or "Developer Access" URL if you want to
> check out the source using your SCM client.
