Ports Collection using SVN

[Niatross]

I am downloading the FreeBSD ports collection using SVN. I know that I can use Portsnap, but I don't want to use it in this particular situation. Anyway, I receive the following error message:

svn: REPORT of '/ports/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: Secure connection truncated (https://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org)

I am using the following command to download the FreeBSD ports collection: svn checkout [url=https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head]https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head[/url] /usr/ports. This command downloads many ports before it displays the error message (above). I have already done a cleanup ( svn cleanup /usr/ports), and tried to run svn update /usr/ports, but the same error message comes up.

It seems as if you are just having trouble holding your HTTPS connection. Everything you are doing looks right. If you wanted, you could try using: svn checkout [url=svn://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head]svn://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head[/url] /usr/ports to build the local working copy, which will use svn rather than https.
