Launchpad itself

Mirroring sourceforge svn

Asked by Rainer

I am trying to mirror a branch from an svn repo, and I always get an "is not a branch" error, although if I click on the https, it shows me the url. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Rainer

Please provide the exact set of steps you take to produce the error so we can attempt to reproduce and diagnose it.

The Branch in question is

https://code.launchpad.net/~rainer-krugs/+junk/lyx-trunk

which should be mirrored from

https://lyx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk

1) select "Register a branch"

2) named it lyx-trunk, made sure that the branch type was set to mirrored and entered the branch url as mentioned above
(https://lyx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk)

3) when trying to initiate the mirroring, I get the following error message:

Launchpad has not been able to mirror this branch. The last attempt was 2 minutes ago. (Not a branch: "https://lyx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk/".) Launchpad will try again shortly.

The URL definitely points to an svn branch, as I can open it in a standard svn client.

Hope this helps,

Rainer

SourceForge sometimes decides to block Launchpad mirroring. We'll have to look into this to ensure that's not what's happening.

Does not look like i (but would be great if you could make sure) as I asked at sourceforge yesterday:

#####
I want to mirror a svn branch at sourceforge (https://lyx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk/) and setup a new branch (https://code.launchpad.net/~rainer-krugs/+junk/lyx-trunk) but it is not mirroring the branch, although the URL is correct and it is an svn mirror.

Could you please indicate what the problem is, as I am at a loss at the moment.

and their reply was:

As far as I can tell, the issue seems to be on Launchpad's side. I
recommend you contact their support team for assistance.

You are requesting that Launchpad mirror a Bazaar branch, but giving it the URL to a Subversion branch. Critically, there's a difference between Launchpad's "mirror" and "import" features.

Additionally, the lyx svn repository at sourceforge is long abandoned, and there appears to already be a more up to date working import registered at https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/lyx/trunk

Thanks max - the first wasn't clear to me. I was aware, that sourceforge is on svn, and launchpad on Bazaar, but I thought there is an option to mirror those. So if I want to use an svn branch, I have to request it to be imported - correct?

Second point: that's great - so I can simply use that branch.

Cheers,

Rainer
