Talk:VSOP Subversion

VsopMember

Just reading Subversion's book first charpters. Amazing to see how a wiki is similar to Subversion system. Copy, modify, get a message if it changes during editing, merge and save... :-) Subversion just allows to handle more complex cases that simple "articles". Just 2-cents. -- 16:54, 6 January 2007 (CLST)

Structure of the repository
What about moving the refs.bib file and every file not directly related to the papers themselves to a comma place? We could move all the sty, cls, bib and their friends to a same directory, and modifiy our tex files accordingly. This would ease the process of adding references (all the files located at the same place) and of writing papers. Eric 13:57, 10 January 2007 (CLST)


 * A comma place... I haven't read the full Subversion book yet, so I have no clue what you're talking about. You mean kind of a common ref file for all papers (Paper One, and what follows), located in one Subversion "module"? -- $\pi$ 15:59, 10 January 2007 (CLST)


 * Exactly :-) Eric 08:45, 11 January 2007 (CLST)

Migration
Cédric found a typo. I wrote:

Migrating from the Trial to the ESO.HQ server
Existing Users: To migrate from the old Trial server (see below) to the new ESO.HQ server do the following command in the top directory of your current VSOPSVN working copy:

svn switch --relocate http://www.vjpd.net/home/svn/vsop https://vsop.eso.org/svnrepo

 * I got a problem when I issued this command. I was geeting this error:

svn: Relocate can only change the repository part of an URL
 * So I tried the following:

svn switch --relocate http://www.vjpd.net/home/svn https://vsop.eso.org/svnrepo
 * That is removing the "vsop" ending of the first URL. And I got no error. But what's next? My commit now fails:

svn commit -m "bugfix" svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn/vsop' svn: OPTIONS of '/svn/vsop': 200 OK (http://www.vjpd.net) -- 12:09, 12 December 2007 (CLST)

Solution
The error was in the directory location... should have been http://www.vjpd.net/svn/vsop not http://www.vjpd.net/home/svn/vsop, i.e. the home/ was superfluous...

Fixed in the main page now...

Ooops and SORRY!!!! Interestingly Cédric was the only one who had the problem... meaning no one else tried to do this yet? Or everyone else had the same problem but stayed quite? Or everyone was waiting to see the answer to Cedric's problem???
