Having errors Re-adding a Deleted Port

E

euphrus

First, I would like to thank you for your help.
It amazes me how fast and courteous the FreeBSD community is.

I need to download and run PHP53 on my local LAN (not public).
It is no longer in the ports.

I followed the instructions from here

I have tried the following
Code: 
svn cp 'svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php53@384184' php53

I receive the following error:
Code: 
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php53'
svn: E210002: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.
svn: E210002: Network connection closed unexpectedly

I haven't figured out how to remove the -q option in order to see the exact error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you.

Use https://svn.freebsd.org instead of svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org.

svn+ssh://repo.freebsd.org is for port committers only AFAICT.

I tried building lang/php53, but it fails to build. Just as a heads up.
Code: 
/!\ php53-5.3.29_5: Makefile warnings, please consider fixing /!\

USE_AUTOTOOLS is deprecated, please use USES=autoreconf and GNU_CONFIGURE=yes
It looks like the libpcre.so:/usr/ports/devel/pcre depends line has an absolute port origin, make sure to remove ${PORTSDIR}/ from it.

/!\ php53-5.3.29_5: Makefile errors /!\

LATEST_LINK is unsupported, please use PKGBASE

*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/php53
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/php53
 
Yeah, svn+ssh:// access method requires SSH authentication to the server which you don't have unless you have committer rights.
 
Code: 
#:/usr/ports/lang # svn cp 'https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/php53/@384184' php53
svn: E155007: '/usr/ports/lang' is not a working copy
#:/usr/ports/lang #
 
First, you need to check out the FreeBSD repo to avoid this error
Code: 
svn: E155007: '/usr/ports/lang' is not a working copy

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!

I love this community - Great manual - great support.

...on to installing - hope it goes well
 
...trying to understand exactly what I did:

the svn co checks out a svn repo to the location specified
then I change to the directory I want to copy to and issue the svn cp followed by the directory I want it to copy to (like regular cp).

Is that correct?

Yes, it is correct.

Read the SVN Command Reference for further details.
 
Note that with SVN you're not checking out the full repo but a "working copy" of it that needs access to the central repository for some operations. This is totally opposite to GIT if you happen to be used to it, in GIT a clone of a repository is the complete repository that is standalone and does not need anything from the repo it was cloned from.
