[zeta-dev] Apache svn and new website: first steps, log and question

[James Pic <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I noticed a glitch in:
http://incubator.apache.org/zetacomponents/community/implementation.html
(search for "array(int" no quotes)

So i checked out:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/zetacomponents/website

And changed website/content/community/implementation.txt line 1483:
- Example of a hash array::
+  Example of a hash array::

Then i ran:
scripts/updateCache.php

And it looks working:
http://pub.chocolatpistache.com/zetac/website/website.svn/htdocs/community/implementation.html

As specified by readme.txt:
jpic@liria /pd/home/jpic/src/zetac/website/website.svn $  make revert-empty
REVERT_FILES=""; \
        echo "Scanning for files to revert …"; \
        for FILE in `svn st htdocs/ | grep '^M' | awk '{ print $2; }'`; \
        do \
        if [ "`svn diff --diff-cmd 'diff' -x -U0 $FILE | sed '1,4d' |
grep -v -f 'var/scripts/htdocs_ignore.grep'`" = "" ]; \
                then \
                        REVERT_FILES="$REVERT_FILES '$FILE'"; \
                fi; \
        done; \
        if [ "$REVERT_FILES" = "" ]; \
        then \
                echo "No files to be reverted."; \
        else \
                echo "Reverting files …"; \
                echo "$REVERT_FILES" | xargs svn revert; \
        fi; \

Scanning for files to revert …
No files to be reverted. [[ it did revert files the first time i ran it ]]

But it still shows loads of diffs:

M       content/community/implementation.txt

Obviously, i'm responsible for the 3 last ones, which brings question
0: what about the other diffs ? is it normal ?

So i'm trying to commit the typo fix:
jpic@liria /pd/home/jpic/src/zetac/website/website.svn $  svn commit
-m "- Fixed a syntax error which caused a rendering glitch."
content/community/implementation.txt
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response
to MKACTIVITY request for
'/repos/asf/!svn/act/81ab0e7e-a58f-4e3b-a7db-32e6f6674519'

I reset ~/.subversion, and ran svn update --username (which worked)
and other voodoo tricks proposed by google results ... But the commit
fails the same way. Which brings question1: why isn't it working and
how to fix it ?

Note that i've intentionality left as much details as possible, in
case it helps other contributors to use (troubleshoot?) the new setup
:D

Cheers from Spain
