Are you sure that the computer you are running svn on has access to the internet? Some clusters and computer centers don't allow their high performance computers access to the internet for security and performance reasons.

Thank you sir.The problem occurred from internet server.

I am trying to get the latest ROMS using svn onto a linux machine. This has worked many times in the past but today it chokes halfway through with the error message:

svn: Can't read file 'ROMS_620/Lib/ARPACK/LAPACK/.svn/log': Permission denied

A possible clue is that today for the first time I got the following query at the start of the svn download:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm:

<https://www.myroms.org:443> Subversion Repository

can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible. See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/parker/.subversion/servers'.

Store password unencrypted (yes/no)?

and it only seemed interested in getting "no" for an answer.

The two issues should not have anything to do with each other.

svn: Can't read file 'ROMS_620/Lib/ARPACK/LAPACK/.svn/log': Permission denied

Appears to be a file permission error. Check the permissions on that file and make sure your user and/or group have write permissions on that file. Perhaps some files in your ARPACK directory were edited or compiled by another username. Another less likely possibility is that your file handle limit was reached. Typically you would get a "Too many open files" error but it can manifest in other ways.

is likely due to new security measures in the 1.6.x versions of the Subversion client. Have you ever successfully checkout/updated the ROMS code from this Linux machine before? If so did you recently update or reconfigure Subversion? To check what version of subversion you are running type:

Code: Select all

svn --version
