Solved cannot fetch older packages

[fred974]

HI guy,
I have the need to install an older version of php so I am trying to use svn..
pkg install subversion
svn checkout -r r414019 http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56 php56-20
When I run the command above, I get the following error

svn: E000043: Error running context: Protocol not supported

Any idea why?

I guess wrong syntax.
pkg help checkout

usage: checkout URL[@REV]... [PATH]
e.g.
svn checkout http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56 -r r414019 php56-20

Your syntax is correct, but it's https://svn.freebsd.org/... not http://.

EDIT: Actually never mind it works with http:// too here. The problem must be something else.

talsamon thank you for the reply
svn checkout http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56 php56-20 -r r414019 return

svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56'

our syntax is correct, but it's https://svn.freebsd.org/... not http://.

I tried http and https, I had the same outcome
svn checkout -r r414019 https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56 php56-20

svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56'
svn: E000043: Error running context: Protocol not supported

svn checkout https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56 php56-20 -r r414019

svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php56'

Mine was wrong, the path has to be the last parameter.

make deinstall
make install clean

But SERF=on is the default for devel/subversion so the package should have it.

fred974: Have you tried with svnlite from the base system? That should work out of the box. Just to rule out a configuration problem with devel/subversion.
