Thank you Larry, sorry for the late reply (holidays).
I'm still struggling with the same problem. Here is the whole error-
message (I translated the German parts) commiting a Change in a
Latexfile with Emacs VC from Ubuntu 10.04:
"""Login: <https://xyz.googlecode.com:443> Google Code Subversion
Repository
Password for »myLinuxUsername«: Login: <https://xyz.googlecode.com:
443> Google Code Subversion Repository
Username: svn: Transmission failed (Details folllow):
svn: MKACTIVITY from »/svn/!svn/act/
87b61f4b-1512-4235-82d2-6541103d5e74«: Authorisation failed: Could not
authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://
xyz.googlecode.com)"""
I did not change anything in my
~/.subversion/servers
file, so everything is commented out.
In my
~/.subversion/config
file I have something like this:
[groups]
# group1 = *.collab.net
myProject = https://xyz.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
# myProject = https://xyz.googlecode.com/ did not work either
### Information for myProject:
[myProject]
# http-proxy-host = proxy1.some-domain-name.com
# http-proxy-port = 80
# http-proxy-username = blah
# http-proxy-password = doubleblah
# http-timeout = 60
# http-auth-types = basic;digest;negotiate #uncommenting this did not
work
# neon-debug-mask = 130
store-plaintext-passwords = yes #don't care about secutity in this
case
username = myGoogleCodeUsername
Authentication should use myGoogleCodeUsername instead of
myLinuxUsername and prompt me for a password (?)
So my (very basic newbie) question remains:
How do I configure subversion on Ubuntu 10.04 to be able to
authenticate to a GoogleCode Repository?
Thanks for any help.
