failure with importing binaries

[Thomas Quas <tq...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I think I have a major bummer here:

1. I extracted the JBoss 4.0.1sp1.tar.bz2 binary package; get it from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=16942

2. I imported the package into our repository
   $ svn import -mblurb svn+ssh://box/repo/trunk/jboss

3. I checked out JBoss at some other place
   $ cd /tmp
   $ svn co svn+ssh://box/repo/trunk/jboss

4. Trying to start the JBoss server under /tmp/jboss fails with an
exception. I have the server.log file available just in case.


Analysis:
a1. Started the server in the original directory (see step 2); works.

a2. Removing all '.svn' directories under /tmp/jboss (see step 3) so
that it does not pick up the mirrored files. Still failing.

a3. Tried 'svn add' instead of 'svn import' (see step 2). Still failing.

To me it looks like something weird happens during the checkout. Some
However, checking the output of the import, binary file seem to be
recognized correctly.

I'm running the following setup:
  Server: RedHat Enterprise Linux 3, Subversion 1.1.3-1
  Client: Debian sarge, Subversion 1.1.3-1

Can anybody help?


Thanks,

-tom

I have to admit, I see not a single piece of evidence that supports the 
theory that subversion is corrupting data.  In fact, you've given 
evidence to the contrary... the files are byte-for-byte identical to 
the originals, right?  Why do you have any suspicions that "something 
weird is happening in the checkout"?

There are N reasons why a java program would fail to start.  It seems 
like you've pretty much ruled out Subversion.  Have you looked at other 
environmental factors?  Perhaps you could show us the server.log file 
with the actual exception in it.

Another experiment:  unpack the jboss tarball into the /tmp area and 
try starting it.  I bet it gives you the same exception.
