Need assistance with SVN downloading FPVectorial lazarus / 54-FPvectorial ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike.Cornflake · 2013-07-31 23:01 G'day, Confession time.  I'm unfamiliar with Subversion.  Can use it well enough if nice easy to follow steps to follow exist.  I have a client setup and working at home, but that's half a planet away...  (Actually, it's a full planet away)  And I had to follow the wiki steps on downloading Lazarus quite carefully I need to download FPVectorial, I'm having problems, and don't know enough to resolve... I'm using RapidSVN (nice small download, first client I downloaded out here, simply can't remember what I use at home) Go to Repository - Import Use "http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial" as the URL (sans quotes) and get the following error. QuoteExecute: Import Error: Error while performing action: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial' OPTIONS of 'http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial': Could not resolve hostname `svn.freepascal.org': The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.  (http://svn.freepascal.org) Ready Anyone any tips? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BigChimp · 2013-07-31 23:10 Just some thoughts - don't know if those make a difference: 1. I don't know if that URL is the root of the repository - you might want to strip out some subdirs. 2. Though I doubt the server speaks it, try replacing http:// with svn:// to try the native subversion protocol instead of http ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike.Cornflake · 2013-07-31 23:16 Nice try, but replacing http: with svn: changed the error Code: [Select]Execute: Import Error: Error while performing action: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial' Unknown hostname 'svn.freepascal.org' Ready I'm nervous about stripping out the subdirs, somewhere up that chain it becomes ~100Mb - OK for you guys on land, out here Bandwidth is a scarce commodity. Bah, tried it anyway, all the way back to "http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus"  Original error each time with appropriate URL.  I'll try a different client... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike.Cornflake · 2013-07-31 23:22 Does SVN operate over odd ports by any chance?  I assumed from the http: that it's all port 80.  One problem I've got is an extremely firewalled connection managed by a bunch of  somewhere on land.  If SVN does any activity outside of port 80, that's going to be my problem :-( I've switched to the Apache Command Line tools.  Error is now Quotesvn: E731004: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial' And google returns nothing on that error code :-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dick, from the internet · 2013-07-31 23:31 I don't have a copy of RapidSVN to try, however, I used  Code: [Select]svn http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial and it worked fine, so the link to the files is correct.  Your error states import error; have you tried checkout instead?  Just a thought.   regards,       geno ---------------------------------------------------------------------- taazz · 2013-07-31 23:32 using turtoiseSVN I had no problem checking out http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/components/fpvectorial/ at home. I would bet that its a firewall issue. I'm uploading what ever I checked out in the simplegraph sourceforge site as a rar archive for you grab it from there. EDIT: It should be up in a single mirror when you grab it leave a message so I can delete the file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike.Cornflake · 2013-07-31 23:35 Very similar error with Checkout. @Taazz, you're a star!  Appreciate that.  You ever in Perth, Au or Aberdeen, UK - I'll buy you a beer :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- taazz · 2013-07-31 23:39 Don't worry about it, its a small thank you for your time in the clipboard issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike.Cornflake · 2013-07-31 23:41 @Taazz:  I think I've sent you a message - nothing appeared in my Sent Items though.  Regardless - many thanks, I've grabbed the download now...
