SVN Checkout error

#1 Unread post by rakeshthp »

Hi there..

I downloaded the latest version of svn: subversion-1.4.5. The problem occurred when i typed the following command:

$svn checkout --username rakeshthp https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk MyDir

I got the following response.

svn: Mismatched RA version for 'https': found 1.4.5, expected 1.4.4

My question is two folded. What does this message convey.?? Should i use 1.4.4 version of subversion??

Secondly, the username which is one of the option, what username do we have to specify, the one which with we registered on ROMS website or the local OS username ..??

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The mismatch error you're seeing most likely points to Subversion being upgraded to 1.4.5 but some or all of the Subversion libraries not upgrading. How did you install subversion-1.4.5? Did you use a pre-compiled binary (RPM, Debian package, etc.) or did you compile from source. Was it installed as root or a regular user? You can probably find a quicker remedy by searching the error on google.

If you can find the Subversion 1.4.4 executables they may work. But if you installed 1.4.5 the same way 1.4.4 was installed it's likely that the 1.4.4 executables were replaced.

You have issued the 'svn checkout' command correctly including your username.
