Re: svn import fails (almost same problem) + script

No such luck for me: I even tried chmod -R 777 on my repository but
it made no difference :-(

Since I've tried it about five thousand times now (ok, slight
exaggeration ;-) I put the whole sequence in a script, from the
download to the tests. I've put it below, in the hope that it will
help you help me, and might, perhaps, help others.

It boils down to the following errors; doing this:

    svn import file://$SVN_REPOSITORY_ROOT . <arbitrary-name>
    
gives this:

    svn_error: #21093 : <Couldn't find a repository.>
    Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
    
    svn_error: #21093 : <Couldn't find a repository.>
    svn_ra_local__split_URL: Unable to find valid repository

and doing this:

    svn import http://localhost/repos/svn . <arbitrary-name>

gives this:
    
    svn_error: #21091 : <RA layer didn't receive requested OPTIONS info>
    The OPTIONS response did not include the requested activity-collection-set.
    (Check the URL again; this often means that the URL is not
    WebDAV-enabled.)

All the 'make check' tests pass.

'svn --version' reports:

    Subversion Client, version 0.10.2 (dev build)
       compiled Apr 10 2002, 20:53:07
    
    Copyright (C) 2000-2002 CollabNet.
    Subversion is open source software, see http://subversion.tigris.org/
    
    The following repository access (RA) modules are available:
    
    * ra_dav : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV (DeltaV)
    * protocol.
      - handles 'http' schema
    * ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
      - handles 'file' schema

And the apache2 startup seems fine:

    [Wed Apr 10 22:33:42 2002] [notice] Apache/2.0.36-dev (Unix)
    mod_ssl/2.0.36-dev OpenSSL/0.9.6c DAV/2 SVN/0.10.2 (dev build)
    configured -- resuming normal operations

Any advice would be much appreciated!
