I don't know what happened to the Deimos project,
("Could not open the requested SVN filesystem" ?)

but the license on etc.bigint made it kinda unusable anyway...

Quite possibly the weirdest "advertising clause" ever ?

Truly weird. Especially the ending, which I'd have written
"even if _not_ adviced"...

This link gave me an error: http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/deimos/
"Could not open the requested SVN filesystem".

My guess is that the SVN repository needs repairing or something like that. I'll
do a little more research when I get home, but the bottom line is that Brad will
probably need to do something to fix it.

I was able to pull it out of the repos from my home Windows box and 
TortoiseSVN.  I imagine the same would be true for my command-line 
client for Linux.

I think my clients are up-to-date, i.e. 1.1.x or so, but the server is 
still 1.0.3 (for now).  But I don't think that's it...

The 400 error makes me think it was either a bandwidth issue or the 
server was really busy.  I also wouldn't try it from 11:15am CST for an 
hour, because that's server backup time...  It's busy and overworked for 
such a small server.  The new one should handle this a lot better.

Keep trying, and also let me know if you get the errors right away, or 
if some files come down and then the errors pop up.  I could always 
package it into a download and post it to the downloads section.

I just tried it again, same error.  It generally takes 5-6 seconds to 
return (LAN-based connection), and by this time it has set up the SVN 
admin directory (with a few files and mostly empty subdirs) but not 
retrieved anything.

If I take out my proxy server connection, it takes a lot longer to fail, 
again gets only as far as setting up the admin directory and the error is

subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:670: (apr_err=175002)

I found a thread that may help.  It's not exactly the same error, but 
close.  The first line is the same.

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2004-07/0872.shtml

The bottom line of this thread is that a client upgrade may help your 
situation.  I'm not sure that it's the solution for you, though.

Kris had similar problems, but always while trying to upload huge 
amounts of DOxygen-generated html/image files.  He broke the job up into 
pieces and it seems to work.  He also upgraded his client software and 
it didn't help.




In your hosts file, can you "temporarily" put the entry:
68.91.106.142  svn.dsource.org

Then attempt the checkout.  This is on the new server, and there's a 
slightly new path to use.  Effectively, I've done away with the 
/svn/projects/xxxx

http://svn.dsource.org/projects/deimos

This uses Subversion server 1.1.1 and is on a much faster box.  Also, 
there's no backup on the new server, but it's currently running on the 
PROD server.

Let me know if this helps or works better.

This hosts file didn't take on your machine.  I see your request for 
/projects/deimos in logs on the old server (68.91.106.141).  It may be 
that you have to exit out of your command-line tool to have the hosts 
file change take effect?

You can view the code in a browser here:
http://trac.dsource.org/projects/deimos/browser/

but I imagine that you really want to pull it to your local.  Again, I 
can send it to you in a zip, but I would rather work through the problem 
and have a public copy of our results for future searches to find.

I'm still skeptical about your client.  Not that you rebuilt from 1.1.0 
to 1.1.3, mind you.  In places, I'm still using a 1.0.x client against 
both 1.0.x and 1.1.x servers, and all is working fine.  I'm thinking 
something like your ISP decided to drop support for WebDAV-type calls 
over port 80 or something.  I know this was a problem with Yuriy, trying 
to work on DWT from Russia.

Thanks for trying to help troubleshoot...

Do you mean my shell session?  I'm not sure what that would have to do

Or maybe I've edited the wrong hosts file?  The one I found was 
/etc/hosts.  Is there another one somewhere?

I'm pretty sure that others can get to the Trac repos, as well as other 
dsource repos's.  So, it looks like it's your client or more likely your 
connection...

Here's some info, searching for 'svn report failed 400 bad request':
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5596
http://nemerle.org/hacking.html
http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:VPTubbs6M1sJ:svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-02/0983.shtml+svn+report+failed+400+bad+request&hl=en

These point to HTTP proxy issues with your connection.  There are ways 
around it, listed in those links, but I don't have anything listening on 
port 81, or https:// working, so they're a no-go.

Best way is to get REPORT allowed by the proxy (and all other WebDAV 
commands).  That should be fairly difficult to get the University to 
change :(

Hope you don't mind me mentioning this Ben, but I've tried both Ben Hinkle's GMP
for D wrapper and the AJ BigInt library and I find the GMP wrapper to be more
usable (better op. overloading, for example), much more performant, easier to
use (package structure, linking, etc.), easier to customize for one's needs (eg:
performance 'tuning') and finally it is up-to-date with the latest DMD language
requirements.

You may want to give that a shot also.

I noticed that the BigInt library was slated for inclusion in Deimos, personally
- if anyone involved with that is listening - I would evaluate both before much
work is done updating/including the AJ BigInt library.

It used to be in her Diemos library, but it seems to be gone from dsource.
Anyone know what happened to it?


 
 
 This link gave me an error: http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/deimos/
 "Could not open the requested SVN filesystem".


<snip>

That link seems to work now and the files are there; however, I can't 
seem to check it out with SVN.  I get

[masg2-mac:~/Downloads/d] masg2% svn checkout 
http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/deimos
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:670: (apr_err=175002)
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/projects/deimos/!svn/vcc/default'

svn: REPORT of '/svn/projects/deimos/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request 
(http://svn.dsource.org)

and similarly with other similar requests.  Am I doing something wrong?

Stewart.

 use (package structure, linking, etc.), easier to customize for one's needs
(eg:
 performance 'tuning') and finally it is up-to-date with the latest DMD language
 requirements.


I second that.

GMP also has a better license than etc.bigint,
it uses GNU LGPL versus AJ's "the Arse license":

Oh yea, and the licensing too <g>

I forgot to include a link to Ben's lib. earlier:

http://home.comcast.net/~benhinkle/gmp-d/

There is more info. on the GMP core there as well.

The same goes for etc.unicode, by the way...

Kris's ICU wrapper in mango.icu is better,
and again: uses X License instead of "Arse" ?

Does anyone know what happened to Arcane Jill, let alone what happened 
to the BigInt library?

I've wondered the same thing ... she used to be a very prolific poster
with lots of ideas that seemed reasonable. There was a post some
months back about taking some time away from the D list.

I tried to send her an email in Nov indicating we missed her and hoped
all was well, but didn't hear back.

Not sure what happened.  Usually I'm alerted to this disruption in the 
Subversion repository while cron runs the backup, but my emailed logs 
have been clean of any errors/warnings.

The repository is repaired now, so you should be able to get the code...

On a related note, the new dsource server (now almost mythical with the 
delays) will not suffer from this SVN repository corruption, as I'll be 
using the fsfs type of backend, and getting away from the bdb backend. 
This is possible with an upgrade to Subversion 1.1.3

Attached are a few bug fixes:

1. The compiler doesn't like assignment of -1 to a uint.  Added a few U 
suffixes and casts here and there.

2. new Int("0") now works.  Previously it returned a reference into the 
constructor's stack frame and so was screwed up.  I've left in the 
isNegative check although it seems pointless - why would len == 0 in the 
first place if -1 is being constructed?

3. bigintFromString now forbids leading zeros - it was checking for 
leading null characters before.

Done, although I couldn't get the patches to apply, so I did it by hand.
 Please check that I didn't screw it up.

I tried:

% patch -p0 < radix.patch
% patch -p0 < bigint_int.patch

and got all hunks to fail.  Probably something I'm doing, but whatever.
 Just make sure I got it right.

Thanks!  It looks right (on a quick check) on svn.dsource.org.  But trac 
still shows the old version.

I don't know why it failed.

Trac is on the new server, which is not PROD, so doesn't get the updates.
