Thanks joe, I already had a laborious additional SVN update stage running when I saw this message. So about 18 hours total into this, when it interrupted once again, I started a new folder, this time on my local hard drive (I had been updating onto a shared folder of a file server), and did a complete check-out in 30 minutes, 30 seconds.
I can now drag that baby over to the file server where I want to keep it. Quickly. Based on this, when the merge into the incubator/ooo/ SVN subtree happens, I think I will nuke the tree I have and do a complete check-out the same way. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Joe Schaefer [mailto:joe_schae...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 11:13 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org; dennis.hamil...@acm.org Subject: Re: Update on SVN dump load Yes that is a painful way to proceed. 9 times out of 10 it is way faster to nuke a partial checkout and retry than it is to use svn update to pick up where you left off. I learned this while dealing with network issues during a FreeBSD checkout. Wasted a full day waiting on svn up. ________________________________ From: Dennis E.

There must be a more-efficient way to handle this than by an SVN check-out and, after the check-out is interrupted for some reason, subsequent SVN updates to continue pulling down a working copy of the repo, rinse-repeat whenever there are connection failures of some kind. I say that because I am around 12 hours into that process and I am still pulling just the trunk (at about 1.5 GB including all of the .svn stuff). Fortunately, it doesn't swamp my machine and I can do other work, such as write emails [;<). Don't think I'll try watching Netflix on-line though [;<). - Dennis PS: I have, since June 1, had a lifetimes supply of ways to show myself how stupid I am. Walking onto a project of this magnitude without first learning the toolcraft and customs on something smaller is not thrilling. I am going to find those smaller things to teeth on while I watch in horror how complex this activity is. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.

One way to not do commits (and to avoid certificate warnings) is to use the http:// address, not the https:// form. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 15:17 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Update on SVN dump load Our JIRA issue has been updated: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-3862 Joe has done a test load onto: https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/test/joes/ooo No commits to it, please, but yell out if you see anything wrong. It looks good so far. -Rob
