Error with quick-start experiment

[Antti Simola]

Hello,



I’m learning to use the command-line Subversion (1.8.13 64-bit Win,
SLIKSVN) by reading the book online and doing some tests. I followed the
quick-start guide for some experiments:



https://subversion.apache.org/quick-start



The first time around went spotless. But the second time when I wanted to
create another repo for another project I get the following error message:



svn: E235000: In file '..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_subr\dirent_uri.c' line
2307: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, pool))


 when I execute the part that makes trunk, branches and tags
subdirectories. That opens a dialog window for the error as well. Does
anyone have any idea what I’m doing wrong here?



Antti Simola





PS: There’s a typo in quick-start guide as the first “ is missing from the
tags subdirectory address.

This is what I typed in my last attempt. I've made several attempts after
the one that worked earlier.

C:\>set REPOS_DIR=h:\repos\my-repos

C:\>mkdir h:\repos

C:\>svnadmin create %REPOS_DIR%

This error message should be improved. svn should not assert here
but simply tell you that the URL is invalid.

The quick-start page is wrong.
You'll need to replace backslashes with forward slashes in the URL:
file:///h:/repos/my-repos/trunk etc.

I'm not seeing an assertion on BSD so perhaps the assertion problem
is specific to Windows. On BSD I see:
svn: E180001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 
'file:///h:%5Crepos%5Cmy-repos'
svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///h:%5Crepos%5Cmy-repos'

I've fixed the page. Thanks!

Hi,

 

You could use %REPOS_DIR:\=/% instead of just %REPOS_DIR% to replace all ‘\’ 
characters with ‘/’

 

(In batch scripts you might have to enable cmd extensions, but on the 
commandline this is enabled by default)

RE: Error with quick-start experiment

[Bert Huijben]

If you want to use URL operations, the whole url should use ‘/’ separators. It 
now tries to open the local directory file:\\something 
 , which certainly won’t exist because file: is not a 
valid device specifier on Windows.

 

You want to use something like 

$ svn mkdir -m "Create directory structure." " 
 file:///%REPOS_DIR:\=/%/trunk" " 
 file:///%REPOS_DIR:\=/%\branches" " 
 file:///%REPOS_DIR:\=/%\tags"

 

But it might be easier to just set the properly encoded path in REPOS_DIR

Thanks! I got it working now by following the updated quick-start. There's
perhaps one typo remaining as the drive is missing from this address:

RE: Error with quick-start experiment

[Bert Huijben]

That is not strictly typo, but I already committed a change to that line before 
I wrote my previous mail (r1682198). 

 

The current form specifies a root relative path on Windows ( \repos ), which 
would work while your current drive is ‘C:’ but stops working when you switch 
the active drive.

May some account in group1 do some illegal modification into the group2 section?

[Ricardo NUNEZ]

Hi,



We're deploying a Subversion server 1.8.11 using Apache 2.4.12. All the clients 
are using the 1.8 protocol.

Let's say we only have two groups. We want every account in those groups to 
have read access to the whole repository, but read-write access to only their 
section. We're talking about LDAP groups, so AuthzSVNAccessFile doesn't help 
much without using additional scripts.



I found that the following authentication/authorization configuration works 
well, supposing that the base subversion URL is http://server/svn:



(...)


Require ldap-group CN=group1,OU=(...)

Require expr %{Request_URI} =~ m|^/svn/group1|
Require expr %{Request_URI} =~ m|^/svn/\!svn|
Require expr %{REQUEST_METHOD} in 
{'GET','OPTIONS','PROPFIND','REPORT'}




Require ldap-group CN=group2,OU=(...)

Require expr %{Request_URI} =~ m|^/svn/group2|
Require expr %{Request_URI} =~ m|^/svn/\!svn|
Require expr %{REQUEST_METHOD} in 
{'GET','OPTIONS','PROPFIND','REPORT'}



(...)



The real question here is that I don't know if we could be opening a potential 
security hole because of the sentence: Require expr %{Request_URI} =~ 
m|^/svn/\!svn|. Looking at the apache logs, I found that the URI 
'/svn/!svn(...)' appeared when trying to modify allowed information.



That is, given this configuration, is it possible that some account in group1 
could do some illegal modification into the group2 section?

Thank you!



Ricardo

Re: Performance issue with svn export [svn 1.8.11]

[Eric Johnson]

Looks like nobody has responded yet. I've certainly not encountered that
behavior.

I think you'll need to provide more information. The problem could stem
from so many places. Could be, for example, that you've got a virus
scanner, and when you export the 30K files, you're exporting files that
draw more attention from a virus scanner.

What's the client on which you're running the svn export command? Are you
doing the export across the network, or on the same machine hosting the
repository? When the export is done, how much disk space is taken by the
export (in both cases)?

Eric.
