svn-1.6.x, serf: Error running context: Internal error.
i've a checked out, without externals, not using serf: https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/ and get a: $ svn up --ignore-externals svn: Error running context: Internal error this is on solaris, after switching to serf in ~/.subversion. i am not sure if this should work without problems, or such a failure could be expected. what makes me not so sure about this is e.g. the editor drive order. see also [1][2][3]. the client is v 1.6.15, and the server, sourceforge, is 1.6.9.

How to create a link that works between OS X and Ubuntu
Hi everyone. I'm developing a program on Ubuntu 10.10. The directory in which my project lives is part of my PATH. The executable that is built is called 'autobot'. I type: ln autobot a a (And my program runs correctly). svn add a svn propset svn:executable ON a svn ci -m Create shortcut Now on my OS X box, with the current directory set to the project directory, and with that directory also being a part of PATH (although it is not named identically to the Ubuntu one), I type: svn up a And I get: -bash: /source/Autobot/autobotwiki/a: cannot execute binary file ls -l a gives me: -rwxrwxrwx 1 richard admin 55295 26 Apr 10:33 a The same thing happens if I create the link on OS X and try to run it under Ubuntu. So how do I do this? Richard

Subversion won't know the difference between the name autobot and the name a; each will look like an ordinary file. A symbolic link, however, is a different object type and Subversion can store it as such. Try this: ln autobot a1 ln -s autobot a2 ls -l The link count for autobot and a1 will be 2; each name references the same file on disk. The symbolic link, however, is a pointer to a name. You can replace the file autobot without affecting a2, but if you replace autobot (rm autobot; make autobot) you will find that the connection between autobot and a is broken. -- David Chapman dcchap...@acm.org Chapman Consulting -- San Jose, CA

A symbolic link, however, is a different object type and Subversion can store it as such. That's correct, and that was the problem. I was reading Richard's message trying to figure out why it wasn't working, and it's exactly that Subversion doesn't (can't) realize a hardlink is a link. Use symlinks if you want to store them in the repository as links.

Yes, I want a symbolic link then, since my program will be rebuilt over and over. Richard
