svn move and older versions

Hello,

I just did a checkout from the new SVN directory and ran the text  
extraction regression tests.  It is failing on the  
sample_fonts_soldconvertor.pdf file. I tried to revert back to  
previous SVN versions to see when the failure started, but I am  
getting an error:

# svn update -r834970
svn: Target path '/pdfbox/trunk' does not exist

I can do other updates, such as to "-r 881644", but if I go too far  
back then this error occurs. Is this expected after the SVN move?

thanks
brian

It doesn't work running on linux. I've fixed some an other issue concerning text 
extraction. Have a look at [1] for further details.

Thanks, that worked.

However, now that I am tracing down this regression test failure, I  
finding a new problem. On my OS X system, I get an error on the  
sample_fonts_solidconvertor.pdf file in all versions of the code  
(including ones that I checked in back in April and I always made sure  
the regression tests passed before I checked in). The only difference  
in my setup now versus than is that I am now doing this on an OS X  
system and not Windows.

I haven't looked into the font handling in PDFBox much, but I'm  
assuming that it relies on the OS knowing about certain fonts.  So, it  
seems that PDFBox has issues with this file on OS X, but now WIndows.   
If others can confirm that 'ant testextract' in the trunk does not  
give errors when run on Windows and Linux, I'll log this as an OS X bug.

thanks,
brian

Yes. If you want an earlier checkout, do something like this:

    svn checkout -r 834970 \
        https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/pdfbox/trunk@881643 \
        pdfbox-old

You can then use svn update within that checkout to go back and forth
in the history before the move.
