Tried to add the isochrone extension and received an error.

I'm not sure is svn needs to be installed in python or ubuntu

svn refers a command line tool for a Subversion revision control system. So you need to install it to Ubuntu, not Python.

Do you have a suggestion how to change the wording, so it is more understandable what to install? (We have somewhere else also the case when the thing to install is a Python package (e.g., *matplotlib*) but it is still usually installed as an Ubuntu package, although some people may prefer to install it to using a Python way such as pip.)

About the QGIS repository, I think you would get same issue with any repo, but I might be wrong about that. svn (Subversion) is not a requirement, although it is necessary for installing addons (on unix-like systems). So svn is an additional or recommend dependency.

Do we really have to depend on svn for g.extension ? AFAIK, trac can be configured to allow download of tarballs of specific directories. How about enabling this for the addons directory and then just have g.extension download these tarballs ?

Would be nice.

Would be nice.

For the record: I have configured trac accordingly a month ago.

And Vaclav has implemented use of the zip archives in r65769, or ?

I tried:

apt-get remove subversion

and a few g.extension installations and everything seems to have worked fine.

Thanks for the work !

I propose to close this bug.
