Subversion subverted

... And another thing.

I had (emphasis on the past tense there) a working SVN rig betwixt my Winders box what ran TortoiseSVN and the BSD machine what was running SVN in noddy-not-a-server mode.

And then it stopped last week.

The Windows side of the problem is exactly as helpful as one might expect, suggesting voodoo and chicken-waving to make it work again. (It is not explained why setting 'mesg n' might 'fix' it. Nor is it explained why, if that's the problem, it's been working lo these past six years.)

Hm. I should be able to perform a 'svn commit' from Cygwin, shouldn't I?

The unix box isn't spotting a problem. In that ssh logins work, ssh from Cygwin works, ssh from putty works, ssh from plink works, etc.

This would be the second Winders bizarro-failure of the week that's only going to be debuggable with Wireshark.

(Or install Git, I guess.)

Grr, argv[1], /etc: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "svnserve"

... aaand fixing that seems to involve refreshing half the packages on the system. Hey ho.

swearing, why not get a proper os?, halfwit
