Hi

Hans has added myself to the project members and I am trying to
re-checkout the joid trunk version in order to commit code

svn co --username="michael...@gmail.com"
https://joid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk joid-trunk

but somehow this doesn't work, whereas I have no problem to login to
www.gmail.com or use my SVN client via SSL at other places (e.g. ASF
projects ...)

Any idea what I might be doing wrong or is there some other setting
which Hans needs to set?

Thanks

Michael

Can you show what the error message is?

Michael, are you using your "GoogleCode" password? See
http://code.google.com/hosting/settings.

Ya, you need a special subversion password that Google generates for you.

It doesn't show an error message, but rather just denies
authentication/authorization:

svn co https://joid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk joid-trunk --username

Repository
Passwort für 'michaelwechner':

Benutzername:

resp. just asks for another account name ...

It seems to me that I just don't have permission yet, whereas I can see
that you have added me as a project member and hence I guess this should
work. Maybe you can check if I really have the same permissions as
"treeder"?

Thanks

I don't see any difference between users.

Do you have an entry in ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/ that
contains "svn:realmstring" and "<https://joid.googlecode.com:443>
Google Code Subversion Repository" from before that somehow conflicts?

And just to be sure, like what Travis said, you need to use the special
"generated googlecode.com password", as linked to from
http://code.google.com/p/joid/source

If all this doesn't work, then I'm stumped. Perhaps you can create another
gmail user, I can add it, and we can see if that one works and troubleshoot
the delta?

sorry, I have kind of missed that information, but this is really kind
of funky.

First of all one has to know this URL
Second one has to logged in to see this special paragraph
Third one has to use this different password

it works now :-)

Thanks very much for all your help and patience. Now the commits will
come ;-)

Cheers

btw, I have made a note within the README.txt about this and hope it
will help other potentials developers.
I am not sure if the README.txt is the right place for such a note, but
otherwise we can always move it to some other place

Cheers

Michael
