[Gumstix-users] Problem downloading gumstix trunk

[Swami E. <swa...@gm...>]

I am following step by step on my Ubuntu 7.10 machine to download the
gumstix build trunk and I get the PROPFIND request failed as follow:


> svn co https://gumstix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gumstix/trunk gumstix-oe
> svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svnroot/gumstix/trunk'
> svn: PROPFIND of '/svnroot/gumstix/trunk': could not connect to server (https://gumstix.svn.sourceforge.net

A Google search on this problem tells me "the Subversion server is
using a server certificate from a non-trusted authority (i.e., they
created it themselves)" and I have to "go into the repo-browser and
navigate to the Subversion server URL. This time you'll get prompted
to accept the server certificate (permanently) and to enter your
username and password".

Being a total Linux/Ubuntu/subversion illiterate, can somebody kindly
tell me how to fix this problem in Ubuntu 7.10 in simple terms.

Thanks in advance
