Hi Samuel,

maintainers is just for the maintainers to discuss problems with infrastructure such as mailing lists or accounts. All questions should go to users@einsteintoolkit.org. I'm not sure what cactusmaint is for.

I'm attempting to install EinsteinToolKit on a MacBook Pro running Mac
OS X ver. 10.9 (Mavericks).

In downloading the components for the EinsteinToolkit using
GetComponents of the latest release, I get the following warnings:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
  200 components checked out.
  0 components updated.

  Unable to process simfactory2
  Unable to process LSUThorns/Vectors
  Unable to process LSUThorns/PeriodicCarpet
  Unable to process LSUThorns/SummationByParts
  Unable to process LSUThorns/QuasiLocalMeasures

Summary of Warnings:

Could not checkout module simfactory2
svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory2/branches/ET_2013_11'
svn: E175002: OPTIONS of
'https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory2/branches/ET_2013_11':
Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted
(https://svn.cct.lsu.edu)

The problem is that the version of svn installed by xcode does not recognise the certificates. I recommend to use a newer version of SVN, for example the one from macports. In order to use the OS X optionlist in simfactory, you will need to install and use macports anyway.
