CS-Map SVN server

[normanb]

There have been a couple of issues reported with the CS-Map SVN server

​http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Cannot-submit-code-to-CS-Map-SVN-server-td5299529.html ​http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Submission-failed-td5296668.html

I am also getting this issue trying to export from SVN

Running svnrdump fails with

Access to '/metacrs/!svn/vcc/default' forbidden

[normanb]

Hi, any update on this please? It is a blocker.

[strk]

Sounds like the user is failing to use https for posting ?

[strk]

What does svn info give you ?

[strk]

NOTE: "normanb" is not part of the "metacrs" group, so is not allowed to commit code. Group composition can be seen here (by registered users):

​https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py?group=metacrs

[normanb]

svn info below, I get the same error with either https or http, I can't comment on the other two people with the same issue.

I am not trying to commit code, I am trying to fork to github. Norm Olsen also reported this error and he has commit access.

Does github allow forking from SVN ? I can checkout from the SVN just fine, can't you ?

svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/trunk/CsMapDev

svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264)

Can the one having the problem give feedback here ? If not else we'd know if he can still login to LDAP...

[strk]

For the record, normolsen does have rights to push (answering his question on the list)

[normanb]

I logged in using ldap (normanb) to view the metacrs group. I am the one having problems exporting from SVN. Others have reported similar issues (as in the ticket) but they may be unrelated.

For me svnrdump fails with

Access to '/metacrs/!svn/vcc/default' forbidden

I can checkout from svn just fine.

[strk]

Ok I could reproduce:

svnrdump dump https://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/trunk/CsMapDev > CsMapDev.svndump
* Dumped revision 0.
* Dumped revision 1.
* Dumped revision 2.
* Dumped revision 3.
* Dumped revision 4.
* Dumped revision 5.
* Dumped revision 6.
svnrdump: E175009: XML parsing failed: (403 Forbidden)

Checking

[strk]

It might have to do with DOS protection as looking at the logs it seems that svnrdump hits the server heavily

Just as a possible workaround, while we try to fix the issue, I've been mirroring SVN repositories to git via git-svn. As you mention a checkout worked, I guess a git svn clone would also work, then you can setup you remote and push there.

[strk]

Confirmed. The dump makes more than 5 requests to the same URL within the same second. It's not the first time we see such weird behavior from SVN client. Let me know if the git svn clone solution helps.

[strk]

I've raised the allowed number of hits per second, please see if it works for you now

[normanb]

svnrdump is failing, just at a later point in the process.

I think git svn clone will work, thank you for the help.

[strk]

What's the IP you're dumping from ? The only trace of DOS protection I find are for the IP I'm doing tests from and an amazonaws ip, but last trace is before your comment

[normanb]

I am going from github.com which is running svnrdump (they emailed me when I asked them why it was failing).

Looks like git svn clone is working and I am pushing to a git repo now.

Thanks

[strk]

I'd close this as fixed then. I hope we can soon move everything out of SVN and into GIT. BTW, did you give git.osgeo.org a try yet ? :)

[strk]

assuming the problem is solved
