Description Patrick ALLAERT 2010-02-05 08:35:48 UTC

Using: dev-util/subversion-1.6.6 with: bash-completion berkdb java nls perl python webdav-serf -apache2 -ctypes-python -debug -doc -dso -elibc_FreeBSD -emacs -extras -gnome-keyring -ruby -sasl -test -vim-syntax -webdav-neon

Trying to commit something on http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/apm/trunk/ I received the following error:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: qop="auth" authentication not supported.
Authentication failed

Recompiling subversion with webdav-neon -webdav-serf instead of -webdav-neon webdav-serf fixed the issue.

Such problems occur only if you switch from one webdav backend to the other:
Something is stored in ~/.subversion (or maybe another directory) which
causes problems with such switches. I did not dive for details, but
starting with a plain new home directory helped in my case.

Did you try with a clean profile?

Comment 3 Patrick ALLAERT 2010-03-11 21:04:47 UTC

No, didn't try that, I think indeed Martin's was right, I switched from time to time from one backend to another. Should be the cause!

Ok, so will close this one as invalid.
