Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdesvn

I'm using Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 with kdesvn 0.14.1-1 and KDE 3.5.9.

When I open a checked out working copy of a repository kdesvn automatically checks for updates. However, it continues forever unless I choose "Update to head", which works and stops the check for updates. If I don't "Update to head" then the kdesvn cannot be closed and must be forced to quit. I can turn off automatic check for updates upon opening a working copy, and when manually choosing "check for updates" the same behaviour is observed. This renders the "check for updates" function inoperable, which is one of most important functions of kdesvn - the ability to check for an update with performing an update.

My repository can be viewed directly by opening the URL with svn+https://address without any problems, from which I can perform a check out. All other functions on this checked out working copy works as expected.

I should add that this isn't necessarily a problem with my repository because the version of kdesvn in Kubuntu Feisty works without a problem.

This is the upstream bug report:

http://kdesvn.alwins-world.de/trac.fcgi/ticket/186

Apparently it is fixed in version 0.14.6, so I recommend this version for Kubuntu Intrepid if not also releasing a Kubuntu Hardy update to this version.

Apologies. I can now confirm that the bug still exists, having compiled a working version 0.14.6 myself.

There is a workaround to the problem though:
  1 In Settings->Configure Kdesvn -> Subversion settings deselect the "Store passwords into KDE Wallet" option that is switched to on by default.
  2 Force your working copy to be updated, which will bring up a login dialogue allowing you to resubmit your username and password to the KDESVN simple password storage: Subversion -> Working copy -> Update to head
  3 Subversion -> Working copy -> Check for updates should now work

It's a bug in kdesvn's access of KDE Wallet. If the default option was to not use KDE wallet this bug would be less of a problem.

It should be fixed in the recently released kdesvn 1.0, which I haven't tested yet.

This should be fixed in upstream version > 1.0.0. Version 1.2.1 is now in intrepid and 1.0.4 is now in hardy-backports.
