I can't seem to get source using SVN - anything wrong?

SDL Development
1

I was interested in taking a look at the current 1.3 SDL sources in SVN.

I issued the command, “svn checkout svn://libsdl.org/trunk/SDL”

But I get this error message, “svn: Can’t connect to host ‘libsdl.org’:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
it.”

I tried another SVN repository (not SDL) and it’s working fine. Is SVN
access (even just read-only) to SDL currently not available?

Thanks,
Doug.

On my system and i-net access it works
without problems.

Hmmm, perhaps either my SVN client is “too new” (1.3.2) or maybe my
firewall is getting in the way. I’ll try it with the firewall off too.

I also use SVN 1.3.2 under CYGWIN.

Yep, it’s the firewall. Not sure why some SVN repositories work and SDL
doesn’t. I don’t know how SVN figures out what internet transport to use
(or which port it uses), but however the SDL SVN server is setup, it can’t
seem to punch through my firewall whereas other SVN servers work.

Well, at least I got it working (shakes fist at firewall).

The default port SVN uses is relative to the protocol used (as for
transport, all of them use TCP). Maybe the other repositories you
tried used the http protocol (over port 80)? That is naturally less of
a hassle since everyone has to use http anyway.On 8/24/06, Doug wrote:
