Re: newbie cant import files into repo

The operation succeeded but the files that I want to version (c source which I should have versioned long ago.) I can't seem to add to the repo. When the code is ready for alpha release I plan to host it on source forge but until then It's just me working on the code and my online connection is intermittent so I decided to create my repo locally. I'm not subscribed so please include my email in your reply. David, What command did you use to create the repository? Did that directory exist prior to running 'svnadmin create'? What syntax are you using to import the source code into the repository? Rich
Clarifying Repository Setup and Initial Import
Running 1.7.16 on Slackware-14.1. I used svn about a decade ago and am now starting a new project and want to start fresh with the tool. I've read the book, particularly Chapters 2 and 5 several times and still have questions whose answers I don't find in the book. The repository is located in ~/development/svn-repos/. Following the section Planning Your Repository Organization in Chapter 5 I created two project root directories which I'll call project-A/ and project-B/. Under each of these I created the subdirectories of branches/, tags/, and trunks/. However, running 'svnadmin create ~/development/svn-repos/' from ~/development failed because the directory existed so I removed the svn-repos/ subdirectory and re-ran the svnadmin create command. Then I recreated the two project subdirectories (root, branches, tags, and trunk). When I run 'svnlook info file:///home/rshepard/development/svn-repos/' this error is reported: svnlook: E02: Can't open file 'file:/home/rshepard/development/svn-repos/format': No such file or directory Yet, that file is present: ls svn-repos/ README.txt conf/ db/ project-A/ format hooks/ locks/ project-B/ Is this error generated because I've not yet imported either project? To import the current code for each project, I assume that I need to cd to that project's subdirectory before running 'svn import'. When I specify the repository location with file:///home/rshepard/development/svn-repos/project-?/ do I also need to specify the trunk/ subdirectory? When I clarify how to get the repository directory structure correct, and use the correct syntax to populate each project's repository, I will use that same syntax to checkout and commit changes to each project.

Create the empty repository then use svn mkdir to create folders in the repository. You only see the content of a repository using SVN client. OK. Thanks! Rich

Mark, It took me two tries to get it right because the first time I used the --parent option with mkdir and that removed the original source directories for which I was trying to create svn repositories. After copying the two source directories from the backup drive I first created each project's root directory (using 'svn mkdir file:///'), then adding the subdirectories of branches/, tags/, and /trunk. That left the original project directories in place. Importing each project to the respective repository directory, removing the original project files, then checking out each trunk worked just fine. Thanks again for clarifying, Rich
