How to checkout the wordpress.org plugin repository?

3 Views

I have problems to checkout the wordpress.org plugin repository via SVN on https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/.

First it starts all looking well:

>svn --force checkout https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/

...

But while it progresses, it gets stuck: 

...
A    plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-shoppingreadme.txt
A    plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-shoppingSaveButton.png
svn: In directory 'plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-shopping'
svn: Can't open file 'plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-shopping.svntmptext-basereadme.txt.svn-base': Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

(Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. is German for a file not found error)

So now the working copy is broken. First thing to do I thought is to run a cleanup, but see what happens: 

>svn cleanup plugins.svn.wordpress.org
svn: In directory 'plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-shopping'
svn: Error processing command 'modify-wcprop' in 'plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-    shopping'
svn: 'plugins.svn.wordpress.orggbs-ad-shoppingformat' is not under version control

It looks a bit to me that this plugin is has some weird settings that prevent to checkout it. So any hints on this? Better ask that question over at SE?

  1. Okay, looks like this is a problem with windows. I tested this now under linux and it worked like a charm. I have no idea what is causing this, but that specific plugin which is problematic is looking wired in svn anyway.

    So solution is to use a SVN client on linux. It just works.
