Interestingly, I've had 1.4 servers tell me I shouldn't have upgraded my client to 1.5, which is a little tedious = particularly as the information comes in the form of a hard-to-decipher error message and a refusal to work. So much for backward compatibility. Fortunately I still had the SVN 1.4 client on the Ubuntu machine that was hosting the Samba shares, so I could use ssh and the command line to maintain things. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
