I am not sure if this is the problem: but do you really have an empty line between each line containing something?

I'm pretty sure Frank meant 'GetComponents -v THORNLIST'. I would go one step further though, and suggest you reset GetComponents users file by adding the --reset-authentication option. This will let you ensure that you are correctly authenticated; it seems that GetComponents is trying to perform an anonymous checkout here. Also, try moving AEIDevelopment/IsolatedHorizon to the top of the !CHECKOUT list. This will make GetComponents verify your username with the IsolatedHorizon thorn, instead of the LegoExcision thorn which doesn't require authentication (it shouldn't really make a difference except that you may be prompted for a password during the checkout process in your configuration).

Let me know if this helps,

Eric

Do you really mean GetCactus? I tried it with the .th file:

!REPOSITORY_TYPE svn:https:// !REPOSITORY_LOCATION svn.aei.mpg.de !REPOSITORY_NAME T:/numrel/*/trunk !REPOSITORY_USER baiotti Excision/LegoExcision AEIDevelopment/IsolatedHorizon AEIDevelopment/PsiKadelia AEIDevelopment/WaveExtract

And the thorns were checkout correctly.

No, I don't have the empty lines in my .th file. I guess it is an effect of the pasting to the email. Anyway, I attach the .th file.

If these are just occasionally a few thorns, a direct update might be the better option. If it's a number of thorns, and the same quite a number of times, you could have a thorn list just for them.

Is what you propose something like a confirmation of update / no update for every thorn in the list, ala

Update CactusBase/CoordBase [YES/no]?

That might not be such a bad idea after all, I agree.

Frank

I agree that it would be nice to have individual updates as an option, but I don't think it's a good idea to run through the entire list. Einsteintoolkit.th already has 130 components... Perhaps instead it could filter by section, and then give the option to specify individual components?

These thorns are in AEIDevelopment, so they require authentication to checkout and are only available over https. GetComponents is trying to check them out via http instead.

I had specified my username interactively.

...

!TARGET = $ARR

!TYPE = svn

!URL = http://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/$1/$2/trunk

!AUTH_URL = https://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/$1/$2/trunk

!CHECKOUT =

Excision/LegoExcision

AEIDevelopment/IsolatedHorizon

AEIDevelopment/PsiKadelia

AEIDevelopment/WaveExtract

Try this instead (fill in your own svn username):

!TARGET = $ARR !TYPE = svn !URL = http://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/$1/$2/trunk !AUTH_URL = https://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/$1/$2/trunk !USER = <your svn username> !CHECKOUT = Excision/LegoExcision AEIDevelopment/IsolatedHorizon AEIDevelopment/PsiKadelia AEIDevelopment/WaveExtract

I tried this and the error is as before.

AEIDevelopment is only available over https, so if it's trying to check out over http it will definitely fail. How about this:

Barry is right and I also didn't catch this before: if AEIDevelopment cannot be reached using http (for obvious reasons), the URL is wrong.

Barry suggested:

!URL = https://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/$1/$2/trunk !AUTH_URL = https://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/$1/$2/trunk

This should word, but in this case you can also just drop the AUTH_URL field. It will then default to URL.

!USER = <your svn username>

I don't recommend putting this into the thornlist. GetComponents will ask for it anyway and if you don't you can easily send your thornlists around without someone changing them before usage.

Frank

OK, this worked. May this become a hint in the error message against user mistakes?

I've updated GetComponents to print the svn/cvs/etc error messages as they occur. Any errors will also be stored in $HOME/.crl/crl.log. Unfortunately svn errors can be rather hit or miss in terms of helpfulness.

For example, when I tried to checkout http://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/AEIDevelopment/IsolatedHorizon/trunk, it gave me

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.aei.mpg.de/numrel/AEIDevelopment/IsolatedHorizon/trunk': 200 OK (http://svn.aei.mpg.de)

Still I hope this will help.
