[Subversion] svn co in haiku drops to gdb or KDL

[scottmc]

When using svn to get haiku it works fine, but when I try to use svn co to check out from a site it drops to gdb and/or KDL. I managed to capture a gdb screencap, and on a reboot and retry I got a KDL instead. I'm using the subversion linked from the dev tools page (v1.1.3 i think), and running on hrev25993 currently.

[scottmc]

Retry 3 and it seems to be working for me now. It may have been that I mistyped the line, but in any case a mistyped line shouldn't drop to KDL.

When you get that gdb again, it would be nice if you could also get a back trace using the "bt" command so that one can see from where it got into this trouble. If you get a KDL, please do the same and capture the output with a digital camera for example and attach it here if possible.

Out of curiosity, since you mentioned being able to check out the Haiku tree ok (which I can confirm works here also) ... what protocol is the other site you're trying using? ​svn://, http, https, or what?

[scottmc]

It uses http It also seems that the SVN_EDITOR environment variable wasn't set by default when I installed subversion. How do you set it manually?

[anevilyak]

export SVN_EDITOR=vim or whatever editor you want. Should be able to add that to .profile so it's set automatically.

Was the Haiku checkout using http also?

Oh, you just installed that BeOS package? That could cause a few problems indeed, as it contains an updated pipefs replacing the one present. This was intended on BeOS because the pipefs there has issues. But on Haiku it's not really a good idea to replace it, as this most certainly isn't compatible with the current filesystem API. You should try a package that only supplies the subversion binaries. For example you could try ​http://haiku.mlotz.ch/subversion-1.1.3-bone.zip or the more current ​http://haiku.mlotz.ch/subversion-1.4.6-bone.zip. Note that these support svn, http and https, but not svn+ssh, as the apr_proc_stub and some code utilising it is missing from them.

[scottmc]

I just followed the instructions from: ​http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/getting_the_source_code so it was ​svn:// to check out haiku.

This just might be another dup of #1641.

The stacktrace in the attached screenshot definitely would suggest that ;)

rtl8139 driver is extremely unstable from what I gather talking to various people in #haiku who have tested with it.

I can probably test this tonight on an ipro1000-based machine to see what happens.

[scottmc]

As with all the other 8139 crashes I have with this board, if it try the same thing enough times I can eventually get it to work. I was able to check my change in after several tries. I'll try installing that same subversion onto my vmware image and see if it's more stable there, and if so then we can close this as a dupe, hold open for a day or still till I verify this is the case.

Installing npipefs should do no harm, as a) BeOS file systems aren't modules, so they aren't picked up at all, and b) there is no pipefs anymore, as pipes are now implemented differently.

Anyway, this is indeed a dup of #1641.
