Svnx and scplugin for INTEL mac

[Anne Stahl <as...@webassociates.com>]

Hi there,
I¹ve read through the forum to figure out where I Œm going wrong for some
days now, but without success.
Please direct me to the right url/person if you cannot reply to my question
directly.

I¹m running svnx from a new mac OSX with a pentium processor. I installed
the scplugin, and followed the installation instructions, but when I click
on the icon in system settings (where it does indeed appear) I get an error
telling me 
> ³You cannot open SCPlugin preferences pane on this computer. Contact the
> developer of this software for a newer version.²
> 
In terminal I can run svn diff and co commands but I cannot ci (commit).
I also have svnx on the machine, and it too lets me checkout but not commit.

Please let me know what other information you need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Anne

Hi Patrick,
Thank you so much for your reply.
My coworker, Jim Klo, was finally able to figure out the problem, and I
wanted to let you know, so others can follow this to fix the problem.

I found this little ³How to² out there on the internet:
http://www.jaikoo.com/articles/2005/09/03/getting-svnx-to-work-with-ssh

 
1. when running Œssh-keygen ­d¹ don¹t provide a passphrase, it svnX didn¹t
like that for some reason.
2. when you generate the keys it creates two files ~/.ssh/id_dsa and
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, you will want to copy that file over to the svn server.
You can do this by using a program called scp:
> 1. scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa yourlogin@xenon:~/
> 2. enter your password that IT gave you for svn
3. next you will ssh to xenon and add the files into a keyring.  To do this
do the following: 
> 1. ssh yourlogin@xenon
> 2. enter your password
> 3. mkdir ~/.ssh 
> 4. touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
> 5. chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
> 6. cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
> 7. rm ­f ~/id_dsa.pub
> 8. exit 
4. now test the configuration by doing the following:
> 1. ssh yourlogin@server
> 2. if you don¹t get prompted for a password, then everything is working, type
> Œexit¹ at the prompt.
5. launch svnX, when adding a repository, for the repository location use
something like: 
> 1. svn+ssh://yourlogin@server/folder
> 2. don¹t enter your name or password !
> 3. open the repository, you might get a window that says svn error with no
> details, I think this is ok, just dismiss.  The repository should load and you
> can browse.  Find the project you want, and check it out to your local
> workstation.  That should be it.
 
I¹m not sure if you need SSHKeychain or not on OS X 10.4.7, however it won¹t
hurt.

What error are you getting when you try to commit?

I have a feeling it's more a permissions issue than an svn executable
issue. I've been running svn fine on an Intel Mac.
