Error with swedish characters in filenames
Hi! I'm working both at school and at home, and use subversion to keep
track of my files. The server is located on my home computer. In school we
use FreeBSD 4.8 (with some custom modifications I think), and at home I
use Debian testing/unstable. Everything works fine until I try to checkout
the repository in school. When I execute this command:
> svn co http://loa.csbnet.se/svn/shared
I get this output:
A shared/kalas_schema.doc
svn: Invalid argument
svn: Safe data:
"shared/biljettf"
... was followed by non-ascii byte 195.
Non-ascii character detected (see above), and unable to convert to UTF-8.
The file is named biljettförsäljning.xls; this is the adress the file has
when I copy 'n paste from the repository when I browse it with Mozilla
Firebird:
http://loa.csbnet.se/svn/shared/biljettf%c3%b6rs%c3%a4ljning.xls
My Linux system at home has no problem with these filenames.
subversion version: 0.32.1
URL to repository (not always up): http://loa.csbnet.se/svn/shared
Anyone has any suggestions of what to do? Or is this a bug?

Hello Branko,
I get the same error message on Windows.
What can I do to get around this?
I used svn-0.32.1-setup.exe.
Is apr_iconv missing in that?

Note that "se_SE" means Northern Sami spoken in Sweden.
Swedish would be "sv_SE".

Try also "locale -a", which should list the installed locales.

This is the output of locale:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
perl -v runs fine.
But I think that svn should really not care when it does not understand
some characters. If svn would just go on and download the files, and just
issue a warning about that character, I would be much happier. There must
surely be some way to tell svn to not care about this?

Are you sure? =)
sh/bash:
export LC_CTYPE=<locale>
ie. se_SE or se_SE.UTF-8
tcsh:
setenv LC_CTYPE <locale>
After that run perl -v, it will tell you if your locale setting
dosen't make sense.
man 7 locale (in linux).

Hmm. Is there some workaround for this? I have no possibility to change
the locale myself at school, so there must be some other way.
Is there no way to just tell svn to ignore that unknown character and just
go on? As it is now, svn just aborts after finding out that it can't convert that
character. I have no problems writing and displaying these characters on
the system, so the locale appears to be right in some ways at least.

You don't need apr-iconv on FreeBSD or Linux. Both platforms have iconv,
and apr-util will use that. It's more probable that the locale isn't set
correctly.

Both libs are directly linked with subversion. But apr-iconv isn't.
That lib comes as *.so files (shared objects) and those are
loaded only when needed. So you must install them separately
(don't know if they're included in your rpm's/deb's).

Well, ldd svn tells me that it's linked (among many others) against
libapr-0.so.9 and libaprutil-0.so.9, both at home and at school, so I
can't see any difference there. Or should I look somewhere else for that
difference?

It seems you're missing the apr-iconv library, or subversion couldn't find
those *.so files.

Just tried it. Checkout works fine for me.
> Anyone has any suggestions of what to do? Or is this a bug?
If you haven't installed the apr-iconv lib(s) (*.so files) the do
so. If you did, you have to make sure subversion can find
them. Apr-iconv comes with apache.
