svn+ssh on mingw32?
Has anyone managed to get svn+ssh working on windowing in the ming32 environment yet? After installing svn-win32-1.3.0 to use from the msys command line I get 'svn: Connection closed unexpectedly' My ssh setup works fine for me normally (I was using it to access the CVS repository without trouble). I have tried adding an ssh key without password protection so that I know that svn won't be confused by ssh wanting a password. I have told ssh what username to use when contacting gna.org. My ssh config file says - Protocol 2 Host svn.gna.org User rfm IdentityFile ~/.ssh/insecure I have also tried using the TortiseSVN package, following the clear instructions at http://www.logemann.org/archives/99.html, but that has a similar problem 'Error * Connection closed unexp...' even though it's using the Putty/Plink/Pageant software to do the ssh bit. Any ideas? It would be a pity if the move to subversion means we stop doing windows development. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Actually, without issue isn't strictly true: svn co svn+step://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/devmodules/core returned an error after checking out the first level: couldn't find external gui. That's not a windows problem, though.

Specifically with the gna server. Like this: ssh -l rfm svn.gna.org (modify if you're using some other command/tool) If you've got it set up right, it'll ask you for the passphrase to your key. Or if you're using an unprotected key, it'll go through ready for a command. If this bit won't work, there's no point going further. Any ideas? It would be a pity if the move to subversion means we stop doing windows development. It would seem to me that the problem is your ssh session isn't being established with the right credentials or that the key isn't registered. The "Connection closed unexpectedly" message is the tunnel being closed prematurely. Oh... did you tell gna.org about your new key?

Specifically with the gna server. Like this: ssh -l rfm svn.gna.org As I said ... the ssh connection works fine. In more detail, it says - Error: You are not allowed to run the command you asked. Only svn over ssh is accepted. Please double-check the command line you typed. and so on ... which proves that the ssh connection was established. Any ideas? It would be a pity if the move to subversion means we stop doing windows development. It would seem to me that the problem is your ssh session isn't being established with the right credentials or that the key isn't registered. The "Connection closed unexpectedly" message is the tunnel being closed prematurely. I expect so ... but the question is ... why? My ssh connection works fine. svn+ssh works fine on linux. So the issue must be something to do with the subversion client ... my guess is it's not picking up the ssh configuration from ~/.ssh for some reason, but I haven't figured out how/why that can be the case. I also don't see how a problem with the command-line client could also effect the TortoiseSVN stuff ... which I configured completely independently using Putty stuff rather than OpenSSH stuff. That's two different ssh implementations being used and both giving the same error. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Maybe this will help: export SVN_SSH=ssh -l rfm -i ~/.ssh/your_key Have you checked that using plink gets you an authenticated connection? Incidentally, are you running any firewall software on your machine? I've come across some which rely on the process name for permissions. I've also come across virus-scanner/security tools which don't play too nicely. Suspect them as well.

Maybe this will help: export SVN_SSH=ssh -l rfm -i ~/.ssh/your_key Thanks ... but I've just now got it working, and I'm inclined to stick with what I've got. I edited 'C:/Documents and Settings/richard/Application Data/ Subversion/config' and added a line to explicitly specify the path to my mingw32/msys copy of ssh ... 'ssh = $SVN_SSH C:/msys/1.0/bin/ssh.exe' I don't know what the built-in/default configuration was doing, but whatever it was, it didn't work on my machine. Possibly something stupid like setting the PATH to some default value which contains neither my mingw/msys version of ssh nor its own inbuilt one? Have you checked that using plink gets you an authenticated connection? I think I did, but I can't swear to it ... it's a while since I tried the putty/plink/pageant route ... to tell the truth I'm happier with the familiar openssh stuff. Incidentally, are you running any firewall software on your machine? I've come across some which rely on the process name for permissions. I've also come across virus-scanner/security tools which don't play too nicely. Suspect them as well. No .. I do my firewalling on a separate router. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

For what its worth, here's a summary for getting PuTTY going: * download and install svn client * download and install putty, plink, pageant... Make sure both are in your path somewhere. I like \Program Files\Bin\ * Generate a key using puttygen (It can also import existing keys from elsewhere...) Save it somewhere as * Tell GNA.org about the key and wait an hour * Check ssh access plink -v -ssh -l -i svn.gna.org * Edit Subversion configuration %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\config [tunnels] putty = plink -ssh -l * Launch pageant and add your key * Check subversion access svn list svn+putty://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep Regards, Sheldon ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

The /devmodules is configured such that it checks the externals out with svn+ssh. I got windows working and booted into this morning, when I get home this evening, hopefully I am able to check things out (no pun intended) ;) - Andy -- Andrew Ruder http://www.aeruder.net ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
