[yt-users] accessing SVN for YT

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Luigi,

I think there are a couple options.  You could try with port 80
instead of 443 in their directions for ssh tunnelling, replacing https
with http -- there's a chance this would work, since it's still
tunnelling rather than directly connecting.  I would give this one a
go, first.

Alternately, one idea would be to do a two-step transport from the
mercurial repository, which contains a full mirror of the svn trunk.
You would do something like this on an outward-facing machine:

hg clone http://hg.enzotools.org/yt/ ./yt-hg

then on the inside machine, you could access this via ssh:

hg clone ssh://that.other.hostname/path/to/yt-hg

When it clones, you can then do "hg up trunk" to get to the yt svn
trunk (or "hg up yt-1.6").  You'd have to do a pull on the outside
machine, then a pull on the inside machine, then an "hg up trunk"
every time there are bug fixes; not ideal, but it could be worse.

If that's also not workable, email me off list and we'll try to set
something up.

Best,

Matt
