svnlook error message
Hi! Using svn 1.0.1 on Mac OS X (modified to use CVS as admin directory
-- don't ask but I don't think that should matter on the server using
svnlook)
When I use svnlook with the diff command on a repository (this is from
the email perl script thing but it happens when you just run it also) I
get the following error.
Can anyone point me in a troubleshooting direction? This repository is
served via mod_svn + SSL
qa% sudo -u www /sw/bin/svnlook diff
/usr/local/svn/repositories/showpage -r 3
svn: Error creating dir '/tmp' (path exists)
svn: Can't open file '/tmp/svnlook.1/inny.com/build.log': No such file
or directory
qa% ls -l /tmp
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 11 13 Feb 09:26 /tmp -> private/tmp
qa% ls -lLd /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 8 root wheel 272 29 Mar 12:50 /tmp
Thanks!

I have it on good authority that this is fixed in an upcoming revision
of the developer tools. Unfortunately I have no idea when they're
going to be released.

A chmod -R a+rX .svn in the nib file directory does the trick. IB sees
the nib as read only because it contains read only files. You need to
rerun this after a commit/update, but apart from that it's pretty
seamless.

FWIW, svk works right now without a .svn directory (actually the WC looks like
an export). It does require a local repository to support the mirror of the
main repos, but I must say it works like a charm. You also get smart merges for
free.
It requires the Perl bindings, which I believe OS X should support out of the
box. The svk web server is down at the moment, but the latest release is on CPAN:

Not an option for us -- I can't ask the developers to do that because
it affects more than IB. We have the problem with XCode itself,
WebObjects Builder, EOModeler, TextEdit (on rtfd bundles).

Naming the directory CVS is the only way I could come up with until
Apple fixes their tools or the "separate" metadata feature/idea is
implemented in subversion. (See issue #707 and vote! =)
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=707 )

I'd really like that too -- right now I can't use any of the binary
options available but have to rebuild it all myself just to use this
temporary fix. I know that the developers have elaborated on this list
many times that it should be hard to change but it is not fun when I'm
the one that its hard for =)

I actually start a terminal session and move the .svn directory out of
the nib while I'm in Interface Builder and then put it back before the
commit.
I was going to ask if any other OS X developers had other alternative
strategies.
Note to normal people: the nib file in OS X contains resources like
windows and menus. Only it isn't a file, it's a directory which
therefore contains a .svn directory when controlled by Subversion. For
some reason, Interface Builder (the tool you use to create menus and
windows) thinks the nib is read only if it has a .svn subdirectory.
Subdirectories called "CVS" are OK because Apple Developer tools have
CVS integration and therefore know about them.
What I'd *really* like is for the admin directory name to be
configurable without recompilation.

I've been having this problem as well. I have my /tmp symlinked
elsewhere just like you do:
> qa% ls -l /tmp
> lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 11 13 Feb 09:26 /tmp -> private/tmp
$ ls -ld /tmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 15 14:30 /tmp -> ./export/tmp
It only seems to occur when a file is checked in from a child
directory of the root of the working directory. For instance, if I
update a script in ~/bin, and then check in my homedir:
svn: Error creating dir '/tmp' (path exists)
svn: Can't open file '/tmp/svnlook.1/bin/backup-mail': \
No such file or directory
