#1445 codeblocks SVN checkout fails: svn: warning: W170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://github.com/spillz/codeblocks-python/trunk'

[Ken Cunningham]

Using subversion to checkout the source of codeblocks-devel fails
currently with this error when checking out one of the external projects:

``

svn: warning: W205011: Error handling externals definition for
'trunk/src/plugins/contrib/PythonPlugins':
svn: warning: W170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'https://github.com/spillz/codeblocks-python/trunk'
Checked out revision 13421.
svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals
definitions
Command failed: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build
/_opt_macportsofficial_macports-ports_devel_codeblocks-devel/codeblocks-
devel/work" && /opt/local/bin/svn --non-interactive checkout
svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk@13421 2>&1
Exit code: 1
Error: Failed to fetch codeblocks-devel: Subversion check out failed
``

The checkout of main source works, and the checkout of one of the
externals goes OK, but the github one (PythonPlugins) fails:

``
% svn propget svn:externals src/plugins/contrib/
FortranProject https://svn.code.sf.net/p/fortranproject/code/trunk
PythonPlugins https://github.com/spillz/codeblocks-python/trunk

``

This used to work before. I'm not sure what happened.

I tried changing the externals to:
``
% svn propget svn:externals src/plugins/contrib/
FortranProject https://svn.code.sf.net/p/fortranproject/code/trunk
PythonPlugins https://github.com/spillz/codeblocks-python

``

but that didn't help, it seems -- unless I didn't do it right. I'm not
much of a subversion expert.

As announced a year ago, GitHub has removed the Subversion bridge so you can't use svn:externals to reference GitHub repositories anymore.

Dependency removed because it will not work again.
