Sync from authentificated repository

[david@…]

I want to use trac with a remote repository where i've just a user account. I'm not administrator of this repository.

The plugin SvnsyncPlugin seems to not permit to define a specific username & password to access to the remote repository.

Can you propose this enhancement ?

Thanks for your support.

I will look at this when I can, but it is not a high priority for me. Patches welcome.

[Jeff Hammel]

please don't change the priority without new information that warrants it; this is behind a long queue of tickets that i intend to resolve first

[Jens Goldhammer]

I want to vote for that. Please implement this function!

Almost all remote repositories needs auth-data, are there workarounds for this?

Replying to mroh:

The plugin is pretty fragile as-is. I don't know of a workaround and won't have time to work on this plugin immediately, though when I am able to my priority is to make it robust vs adding new features.

Actually this can be done just by means of SVN. You need to have an appropriate SVN config for a user which runs Trac (www-data, probably). The config should include default username for repository, as well as repository certificated stored, if any. Subversion config is usually found under ~/.subversion/

Not quite a beautiful solution, but it works.
