When I installed subversion on a Raspberry Pi4B and checked the installed version afterwards it printed this:
$ svn --version svn, version 1.14.2 (r1899510) compiled Nov 12 2022, 20:30:30 on arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf Copyright (C) 2022 The Apache Software Foundation.

Subversion is open source software, see http://subversion.apache.org/ < cut > The following authentication credential caches are available: * Plaintext cache in /home/bosse/.subversion * Gnome Keyring * GPG-Agent * KWallet (KDE) I have had a lot of problems with password caching for a number of years since I am working on these devices mainly on the command line via ssh and when I issue a svn command against a server on our LAN what happens is that svn pops up a password entry dialog on the (invisible) **GUI screen**! And the operation started on the command line fails... It was not always so but some svn update changed the way svn operates.... Now I see the banner above where it looks like it is again available: * Plaintext cache in /home/bosse/.subversion The problem is that in the config file there is no example of the syntax for enabling this.... So my question here is: How do I enable the plaintext cache in svn client version 1.14.2 on a Raspberry Pi4B running Pi-OS? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
