Re: Possible Bug with "--non-interactive" mode on OS X Leopard

Hi Edward,

The topic was escalated to the dev mailing list and a defect was
entered in both the Subversion and Apple bug trackers...

Here is a link to the dev thread: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/dev@subversion.tigris.org/8234471.html

I have yet to hear of any resolution to the problem though... It had
something to do with how the Keychain stuff works on Leopard...

In the meantime we have just been building our maven releases on
Windows XP running in VMWare fusion...
