andthennothing.net: Relocating svk mirrors“first there was a three-legged monkey...”tag:andthennothing.net,2005:TypoTypo2005-12-18T03:19:08+00:00Jonas Bengtssonjonas.b@home.seurn:uuid:a58ec083-ecb9-49e1-a5bd-126307a9de922005-10-22T12:37:00+00:002005-12-18T03:19:08+00:00Relocating svk mirrors<p><a href="http://andthennothing.net/archives/2005/10/01/handling-multiple-repositories-with-svn-and-svk">When I created my svk mirrors</a> I used http to connect to my svn repository. However since then I activated https support on my server. Due to some stupidity on my part (and how hard it is to debug webserver configuration problems) I didn’t get it to work until this week (thanks to the <a href="http://www.textdrive.com">TextDrive support</a>). To relocate a mirror you should just have to do like this:</p>
<div class="typocode"><pre><code class="typocode_default ">C:\>svk mirror --list
Path Source
============================================================
//andthennothing http://urltorepository
//typo/mirror svn://leetsoft.com/typo/trunk
C:\>svk mirror --relocate //andthennothing https://urltorepository</code></pre></div>
But I wouldn’t write this if it was that painless. I got this error instead:
<div class="typocode"><pre><code class="typocode_default ">C:\>svk mirror --relocate //andthennothing https://urltorepository
Error validating server certificate for 'https://hostname:443':

After a while of searching darix at the <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/svn">#svn</a> helped me out.
<div class="typocode"><pre><code class="typocode_default ">C:\>svn ls https://urltorepository

<p>Yay! So I guess there’s some problems with adding a certificate through svk at least on Windows (more specifically <a href="http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-04/1247.shtml">svn’s Perl bindings on Windows</a>). But as soon as the certificate is cached (through svn) everything works fine.</p>
<p>I feel so much secure now using https instead of http :-)</p>
<p><ins>Update:</ins> To relocate a svn checkout you just type <code>svn switch https://urltorepository</code>. Easy peasy!</p>
