anonymous svn access on assembla seems to be broken
« on: 25 / June / 2022, 19:58:04 »

I noticed today that it's no longer possible access the chdk and chdkptp repositories with logging in, e.g. browsing https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/chdk or https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/chdkptp prompts for a login.

This will likely also prevent the http://mighty-hoernsche.de autobuild from working. Downloading a source zip does still appear to be possible.

I'm not clear whether this is an intentional change or something broken, I sent a message to assembla support clarify. If anonymous access is no longer supported, it's probably time to migrate somewhere else. I downloaded backups of both repositories today.

edit:
As noted below, you can currently use guest / guest.

Seems stuck @ #6085, should be 6107 today.   :-[
Offers the "stable" build to download, that is 6085 yet.

https://app.assembla.com/spaces/chdk/subversion/commits/6112 still available.

Assembla confirmed that they no longer allow anonymous SVN access. They stated that anonymous users can still download a zip.

Input on what to do from here is welcome. We could probably switch the autobuilds to get their source via zip download, but my overall impression of assembla hasn't been great for the last few years, so my inclination is to move elsewhere.

github is the obvious default these days, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Autobuilds will need to be updated regardless. I don't know if @Hacki wants to keep running the mighty-hoernsche.de builds, but I'd be inclined to retire the old TCL scripts.

Switching to git loses the automatic revision number, which is slightly annoying for build identification and script version checking. OTOH, git is probably better for the kind of development we do in many other ways.

6085 is the most recent rev on stable. The mighty-hoernsche.de trunk didn't update when I checked in yesterday, so it's stuck on 6112. But it fails early enough that it didn't remove the existing files and post the broken build message, which is good.

The chdkde builds also seem to still be available, on 6107 for the trunk.

Switching to git would be ok; but how would the auto build numbering work?


Is it not possible to create a login for assembla and use that on the auto build server?

It wouldn't, at least not out of the box >:(
From a quick google it seems like there are some workarounds though (random result https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54310050/how-to-version-build-artifacts-using-github-actions).

Presumably, but unless assembla has a specific provision for automation accounts, it means having the full account login in plain text in the autobuild server somewhere, which isn't great IMO.

Also, I'd much prefer the general public have checkout access.

@reyalp@philmoz
Have seen the prompts as well - but just type enter, and 'guest' enter (twice) and svn creates an account. On my machine (manjaro linux) it stores the info in {my home dir}/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/ as a txt file which does not appear to contain any secrets (see attachment, original has no .txt extension)
just my 2c

PS created the guest/guest account sunday & today (tuesday) updated both trunk & ximr to 6118 without seeing prompts
PS2 As you can see, any account secrets are in my 'gnome-keyring' which I never configured, but seems protected (PGP ?)

Nice find, shame assembla support didn't mention that  :blink:. That provides a short term workaround at a minimum. FYI you can use
Code: [Select]
--username guest --password guest
on the command line for batch stuff like the autobuilds.

Something has changed and now TortoiseSVN allows to checkout without entering the credentials.

Erhm, well, i don't mind keeping it running as is, but quite frankly i don't feel like investing much work into CHDK.I added the guest login to the tcl scripts and it seems to be working fine for now.

That makes sense :)
