Overview / analysis of failing bzr-svn imports

An attempt to classify persistently failing bzr-svn code imports by cause.

Bazaar does not support something present in Subversion

Unable to convert Subversion path ... because it contains characters invalid in Bazaar.

• lp:~vcs-imports/choco/trunk -- suspended... should we suspend a failure???
• lp:~vcs-imports/enlightment/trunk -- suspended... should we suspend a failure???

bzr doesn't support newlines in symlink targets yet

• lp:~vcs-imports/freeswitch/trunk -- suspended... should we suspend a failure???

get_dir PROPFIND failed

subversion bug 203975

• lp:~vcs-imports/pypy/trunk

Some analysis done, culprit uncertain

get_uuid PROPFIND failed

This failure mode seems to correspond with being unable to make a successful PROPFIND against the repository root URL. This can be because:

• There is some sort of erroneous redirect occurring:
  • lp:~vcs-imports/imagemagick/trunk
• Only a subtree of the repository is visible, and accessing the root causes a 401:
  • lp:~vcs-imports/alpine/trunk
  • lp:~vcs-imports/magento/trunk
  • lp:~vcs-imports/openfreeway/trunk
  • lp:~vcs-imports/pyohio/trunk
  • lp:~vcs-imports/zoneminder/trunk

revprop_list PROPFIND failed

Succeeds for me locally, so perhaps the issue is fixed in a newer subversion/subvertpy/bzr-svn than the importds are running.

• lp:~vcs-imports/almidon/trunk

Needs investigation

Empty parent '...' added, but child '...' wasn't added !?
