[arch-general] Subversion server - authentication problem
by Paulo Santos 22 May '09

22 May '09

Greetings everyone, I've been trying to create a Subversion repository without success. I end up always with the same error: 403 Forbidden. I've followed the wiki [1] doing exactly the same as described there (except the path and username) and I don't understand. I set the permissions, checked the ssl paths over and over again, the same with .svn-policy-file and nothing... Trying the link in the browser, accept the certificate and pass the basic authentication and there it is, the 403 page. I don't get prompted again for authentication so it's the right one. Using svn -co, the same thing: svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS request for 'https://localhost/svn/repo' Does anyone have any idea what can be wrong? Maybe some common mistake or something... Thanks in advance, Paulo Santos [1] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Subversion_Setup

What dictionary does evolution use for spell checking? It tells me I have only the Turkish available, but since I don't know Turkish I need to change this to something I know about. Thanks

[arch-general] libdrm stuck at 2.4.9
by Damjan Georgievski 22 May '09

Does anyone know why the i686 version of libdrm is stuck at version 2.4.9 (the x86_64 is up-to-date at 2.4.11)? http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=libdrm I don't mind it much, since I've compiled my own package, but each time I try to -Syu pacman wants to downgrade to 2.4.9 and it's a bit annoying :) -- damjan
