problem turning existing directory to a svn repo
Hello,
I found this tutorial :
http://masstransmit.com/garage_blog/create-svn-existing-project/
And I'm stuck with step 2.
I did
svnadmin create cinnamon-for-crux
After that I did
svn import cinnamon file:///cinnamon-for-crux -m "first import"
But then I see these error messages:
svn : Unable to connect to a repostory at url 'file:///cinnamon-for-crux
svn: Unable to open an ra local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repostory 'File:///cinnamon-for-crux
What am I doing wrong here ?

Oke,
So it must look like this svn import cinnamon
file://root/cinnamon-for-crux -m "first import"

You need to provide the full path to the repo, not only it's name,
which only is a directory name in the current directory where you
issued svnadmin create.

Please take the time to read chapter 2 (Basic Usage) of the book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/index.html
The answers to your question have been written there already.
This list isn't the most efficient place to learn the basics of
using Subversion. This list is a great resource for cases where you
cannot find something in the book (and then people might again point
you back at the book; that's fine, sometimes it's not obvious where
to look), or especially if you have a specific issue you'd like to
discuss in depth (like, how to resolve a complicated merge conflict).
But please, don't bother this list too much with basic usage questions
that are covered in 'svn help' and the svnbook intro chapter.
Thanks for your understanding.

Because you need to provide an URl not a path, like you did in import:
file:/// or whatever.

Read the man pages of the commands you use.
svn help co

Thanks that worked.
Next problem.
The next step would be svn co /path/tp/repostory/projectname
So for me it would be svn co /root/cinnamon-for-crux
But then I see a error wrong arguments
svn is driving me grazy I think.

You must use an absolute path in the file URL.
Try: svn import cinnamon file://$(pwd)/cinnamon-for-crux
