Re: trouble publishing project docs
I am still having this trouble deploying our website.
Would another committer please see how they go:
$] cat $FORREST_HOME/etc/publishing_our_site.txt
Note that i have confirmed my $FORREST_HOME/deploy.svn.settings file.
I can commit changes to the sources.
Just having trouble with:
$] forrest -f publish.xml deploy
which gives ...
BUILD FAILED
com.alternatecomputing.jsvn.command.CommandException: svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of '/repos/asf/!svn/act/09d75e90-9268-4792-aad1-352ccc57da41': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://svn.apache.org)

I tried a complete new forrest checkout on this same
machine. Same trouble.
On another machine, forrest never installed. After making
a source commit to get set up ... same issue!
However after removing the ~/.subversion/auth it now
worked.
Anyway, that is it. Give up, and look forward to the
svn executable via Ant.
As noted above, the deploy.svn.settings didn't seem
to have any effect.

True. I had not realized the implications.

Executing the SVN command directly from Ant? Sure. We already have them and they have posed less problems than the alternative methods. Besides, targets like publish are most likely to be used on the server.
Kind regards,

Thanks Sina. However, if i read correctly then the version
of SvnAnt is "bound against subversion" to a particular
version of Subversion.
So i suppose that we would need to provide different versions
of SvnAnt to match their client version. Sounds messy.
I like Tim's suggestion better.

Thanks David, I switched my forrestbot over this morning to straight
svn commands. All seems well. I'll try to take a look at the
plugins/build.xml file some time this weekend.

It is working fine for me as you can see in r950437. Not sure what your
problem can be David.
BTW tested on ubuntu 10.4.

Actually that is kind of the same in the sense of dependencies:
"With the help of the underlying svnClientAdapter, <svn> task uses
javahl - a native (JNI) java interface for the subversion api if it can
find the corresponding library.
(See the subclipse FAQ for hints how to get it for your operating
system)."
That we execute the svn commit by hand has the reason to examine our
changes.
I will try to setup the forrestbot on my box and will let you know how
it goes.

I think we should stop using the svncommit and svncheckout tasks since:
- There's almost no documentation available for them.
- They don't remove the need for executing the svn command.
Maybe we could consider using [1], which is BTW released under ASL 1.1 [2].

That is a good question.
It seems that the affected files are
forrestbot/core/getsrc.xml
forrestbot/core/deploy.xml
which use "svncheckout" and "svncommit".
It is interesting to note that we already use
Ant to call the "svn" executable do to the 'svn add'
and 'svn status' operations.
I am in favour of dropping dependencies where possible.

I guess I've never investigated how forrestbot actually works, but
this jsvn library is terrible. I can't find any documentation and all
the useful links are broken. I was trying to find out if there was a
"--no-auth-cache" equivalent for that svncheckout task. I wonder why
we don't just call out to external svn commands in all places (just
like svn status) since svn is a dependency anyway?

Yes, that is what i have been saying all along.
Everything else is as expected, just the local forrestbot
cannot commit using its Jsvn task.

So now you have removed the auth/svn.ssh directory, can you still
commit normally to trunk, using the same password you are using in
the deploy.svn.settings file -- if you have removed auth then you
will be prompted for a password from the command line.

maybe:
rm -Rf ~/.ssh/auth
Though, it'd be strange that the command line would use keychain yet
the ant task would use these credentials. I'm wildly guessing at this
stage in case you haven't noticed:)

Thanks for trying. No, it is not that. The "ASF Committers"
password is there, and i can commit okay.
However, it is just my local forrestbot that is not working.
That is why i wonder if Ant or Jsvn might cache it.
I also tried removing my deploy.svn.settings file,
thinking that i would then get prompted for the password.
But it didn't. And still gave the same credentials error.

Just a guess, if you use keychain, is it out of sync with a recently

I just published and all appeared to go well. I got a complaint from
