Enlistments Issues

For the Flourish project (https://www.ohloh.net/projects/flourish) I added anonymous SVN access to get the enlistment in, but then had to change it to a password protected account because of authentication issues. Because of this I deleted the existing enlistment and tried to re-add it with a username and password, now I just get a white screen when I am re-adding it after is going through the Contacting Server... part. The repository is located at http://svn.flourishlib.com/trunk/classes.

Also, I tried to add a second old repository and it listed the URL I added as different then I typed, so I deleted it and did it again, however again it grabbed the wrong URL. The correct URL is http://old.svn.flourishlib.com/trunk but the system keeps putting in http://old.svn.flourishlib.com/trunk/classes.

Hi wbond,

You are running into two different features of Ohloh.

The first is that you cannot delete and re-add an enlistment -- Ohloh will recognize the URL, and will re-use the existing data. If the password information has changed, let me know the updated info and I'll make the fix.

The second issue is that Ohloh tries very hard to avoid importing /branches and /tags directories, and there are a few things we do as a result. When you enter an URL, Ohloh checks the directory listing of that URL. If the directory contains only a single deeper directory, then we update the URL to point into that deeper directory. We'll keep descending into directories until we find one with something in it besides a single directory.

We have to take these steps to avoid the massive server abuse that can otherwise occur through simple button clicking on our web site :-).

Unfortunately, this can lead to real inconvenience for our legitimate users. Let me know the URL, username, and password you want, and I'll get it wired up.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks for getting back to me!

The primary repository is http://svn.flourishlib.com/trunk/classes.There used to be anonymous access, but now the login is 'guest' and the password is 'guest'.

I just cleaned out the latest revision of the old repository to prevent issues with doubled lines of code, however I would like to have the old revisions indexed for the development timeline and metrics. The old repository is http://old.svn.flourishlib.com/trunk and the login is 'guest' and the password is 'guest'.

OK, I think I've got this wired up properly, and the histories are starting to download. I'll keep an eye on it until it completes.

Let me know if I've gotten anything wrong!

Thanks,
Robin
