source checkout, svn checkout not working
Patrick
# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over
HTTP.
svn checkout http://tclkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tclkit-read-only
I am attempting to hit it with tortoise svn but getting the following
error...
Command: Checkout from http://tclkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tclkit,
revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
OPTIONS of 'http://tclkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tclkit': could not
connect
Error: to server (http://tclkit.googlecode.com)
Is this the correct url to check out?
As a side note, the reason I need the source is because I have
exhausted all other options with trying to replace the icon and update
the resource version info. Every avenue, including the stuff on the
wiki have deadended so i figure I'll create my own tclkit exe with the
setup I need.
Thanks

Yes, it should be. Maybe it was a temporary glitch?

Sorry to hear that.

From your post to the newsgroup I suspect you have connectivity issues
unrelated to this svn server. However, an alternative is to take a
clone or download a snapshot from my git mirror which is following the
subversion repository using git svn. See
http://www.patthoyts.tk/gitweb.cgi/kitgen/ Gitweb provides
downloadable snapshots using the .zip or .tgz links on the end of the
line for each commit. Grab the most recent I suggest.

The simplest method if just modifying a tclkit.ico file doesn't work
for you is to open a copy of the tclkit.exe using Visual Studio and
replace the icon resource. NOTE: you may well need to decompress the
binary first. The tclkit executables are nearly all compressed using
upx. To manipulate one of these you can split off the database,
decompress then rejoin the database using:
sdx mksplit tclkit.exe --- this gives you tclkit.head and
tclkit.tail. the head is the exe, tail is the database
upx -d tclkit.head -- might need to rename it to .exe
modify the tclkit.head resources
upx --best tclkit.head --- recompress the exe part
copy /b tclkit.head + tclkit.tail tclkit-modified.exe
