From: IPv7 Develop Group <develop_at_ipv7.org>

Hi all,
i'm working to create some perl scripts to make changes on a svn(subversion)
repository. One of this script try to change a svn:external but i have
a problem to do this with the propset().

I have a testing repository with this path

http://localhost/svn/testing/develop_area/mail

under this directory there are two svn:externals:

[laforge:302]$svn propget svn:externals http://localhost/svn/testing/develop_area/mail/
stable http://localhost/svn/testing/main/mail/branches/maintenance-release-1.64
develop http://localhost/svn/testing/main/mail/trunk

With perl i want to change the stable external to a new branch and this
a expert of the script that try to make this change:

[...]
print "Get svn:external\n";
print "================\n";
my $hash =
$ctx->propget("svn:externals","http://localhost/svn/testing/develop_area/mail",$revision,"0");
my $newexternal="";
my $setprop="";
my ($key, $value) = each(%$hash);
        print "Key:$key\n\nValue:\n$value\n";
        my $count="1";
        foreach (split(/\n/,$value)) {
                        my $external=$_;
                        print "-----------------\n";
                        print "External$count: $external\n";
                        $count++;
                        my @exter=split(/\s+/,$external);
                                print "+++++++++++++++++++++\n";
                                print "\tName: $exter[0]\n";
                                print "\tUrl: $exter[1]\n";
                        if ( $exter[0] eq "stable" ) {
                                $exter[1]="https://localhost/svn/testing/main/mail/branches/maintenance-release-1.65";
                                $setprop="1";
                        }
                        $newexternal=$newexternal."$exter[0] $exter[1]\n";
        }

print "\n\n\n";
if ( $setprop eq "1" ) {
        print "Set svn:external\n";
        print "================\n";
        print "Key:$key\n\n";
        print "Value:\n";
        print $newexternal;
        $ctx->propset("svn:externals",$newexternal,"http://localhost/svn/testing/develop_area/mail","0");
} else {
        print "Value:\n";
        print $value;
}
[...]

Running the script i have an error during the operation:

[laforge:303]$./update-svn.pl

i have this error:

Uncaught exception from user code:
        Bogus revision information given: Setting property on non-local target

With the cli command i can change the svn:externals without problem.

I'm on linux, distribution Fedora 10
Subversion command-line client, version 1.6.5.
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 10 subversion 0) configuration:

Rpm package version:
subversion-1.6.5-1.fc10.1.i386
subversion-perl-1.6.5-1.fc10.1.i386
mod_dav_svn-1.6.5-1.fc10.1.i386

Anyone have an idea about this problem ? Need i to open a bug ?
Any idea on how change a svn:externals via perl on a remote repository?

Thank you
