svn interface for windows and HPUX

[KathyK]

Hi All,

Does anyone has any experience with window explorer version of svn (i.e. TortoiseSVN) to interface with HP-UX?

when we use TortoiseSVN we get the following errors:

1. Cleanup failed to process the following paths: -L:\simsrc
Can’t remove file L:\simsrc\.svn\log. The mounted file system does not support extended attributes
2. Command Update
Error Working copy ‘L:\simsrc’ locked
Error Please execute “Cleanup” command
Finished




best regards,

Kathy

some basics please:
is subversion running on HP-UX w/ tortoise on windows, -or-

are you running tortoise and subversion both on windows w/ hp simply providing disk space -or-

something else entirely.

if the second case, how is "L:" shared/mounted.

from what is shown, it appears that svn is attempting to set some of the windows attribute(s) that don't "map" to unix/nfs filesystems.....

we have tortoise on windows and svn client on L class. we use samba to map share drive.

and i think you are right and there is a unix/window attribute incompatability. so I was wondering if there is another way.

but where is the "svnserve" process, windows or unix?

[OldSchool]

it seems that the usual course is to place the subversion server (and possibly apache) on the hp-ux box, and the client stuff on the windows box.

svn / tortoise then pass requests across the network (to a local store?)..

i could be all wet in this regard however...

searching "svn hp ux" on google turns up some interesting links, including a redbook that has the layout described above.

Hi OldSchool, thanks for your reponse,

svnsrv is on windows the L is only the client.

ok, i'll admit i'm dense.

if the L class is simply a cleint,
a) why do you have to have the disk shared?
b) don't you simply need a browser on the HP box?

I think it's more cause I don't quite know how this all works together therefore can't explain it real well. the way i think it works is:

the repository is on L class for the unix version then we have a web version that sits on windows. now the programmers use tortoise to check the programs out and check them in. when them make modification to the unix version the drive is mapped from L class but the interface is still tortoise, or they want to keep it that way. otherwise if they just use the command line there won't be any problem.

thanks for the link i'll try that.
