Read access to the Subversion repository for the public
First things first: to access our Custard Subversion repository directly you need the following details:-
URL : https://svn.greenpeace.org/repositories/custard/ user: public pass: None, just press enter/return when challenged
So, what's changed and why?
While surfing Google I came across a django chat log page where this project was mentioned. Great I thought!
... or not. Unfortunately it took this completely accidental discovery to realise that read access for anyone to the Custard repository required a username and password. This was not initially setup like this but we had to reinstall our Subversion server a while ago and though public read access was still configured in Subversion it was sadly blocked by another configuration setting in Apache.
My apologies to iholsman and anybody else frustrated by the lack of tarball download via ViewVC combined with the inability to access the repository directly. The latter at least is now fixed by making the username and password known.
I'll look at making the repository accessible without username/password (complicated by the configuration of our other repositories), and I'll also look at tarball support.

Hi Ximon,
I got over my issue weeks ago, and can now happlily check out your code via SVN (my preferred method).
FWIW.. several people left comments on earlier blog entries with the same issues ;-)

Yup. I think we started with this problem, then fixed it by explaining the login, then changed things so the login wasn't needed anymore, then broke it again, and have now arrived back at step two of the whole process.
