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.

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/choco/trunk -- suspended... should we suspend a failure???

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/enlightenment/trunk -- suspended... should we suspend a failure???

bzr doesn't support newlines in symlink targets yet

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/freeswitch/trunk -- suspended... should we suspend a failure???

bzr-svn bugs

bzr-svn confused by read access restrictions to subtrees

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/open64/trunk

KDE layout related - Empty parent '...' added, but child '...' wasn't added !?

bzr-svn bug 638492

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/kdesupport/trunk

• Most branches at https://code.launchpad.net/trinity-desktop

CHKInventoryRepository(...) has no revision ...

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/subvertpy/trunk-svn

Fixed in bzr-svn trunk.

bzrlib.errors.InconsistentDeltaDelta

• https://code.launchpad.net/~gary/zc.buildout/trunk

broken svn server

[codeplex.com] assert svn_revprops.has_key(properties.PROP_REVISION_DATE)

bzr-svn bug 498925

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/screengrab/screengrab-1-series

• https://code.launchpad.net/~mwhudson/irony/trunk

This is caused by a server side bug present in the Microsoft Team Foundation Server to Subversion bridge running on codeplex.com.

I'm inclined to close these as wontfix since they are a server side issue. Perhaps we can look into importing natively from the team foundation server using bzr-tfs ? -- jelmer

Launchpad code bugs

Launchpad uses "guessed" layout rather than a layout that matches the requested branch

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/soprano/trunk

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/project-neon/trunk

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/k3b/svn-trunk

• https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/choqok/trunk

• https://code.launchpad.net/~robby/tellico/trunk

• https://code.launchpad.net/~claydoh/kmymoney/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:

  • https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/imagemagick/trunk

• Only a subtree of the repository is visible, and accessing the root causes a 401:

  • https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/alpine/trunk

  • https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/magento/trunk

  • https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/openfreeway/trunk

  • https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/pyohio/trunk

  • https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/zoneminder/trunk
