I've upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and subversion checkout from http:// just refuses to work anymore. Always timeouts.

I tried a 10.10 Live version and that works and all my packages are upto date.

The symptom is:

hendry@x201 tmp$ svn co http://tc.labs.opera.com/svn/apis/XMLHttpRequest/
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://tc.labs.opera.com/svn/apis/XMLHttpRequest': could not connect to server (http://tc.labs.opera.com)

I am out of ideas since subversion is too difficult to debug. Do I just re-install everything? Anyone seen a similar problem?

svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767)

I strongly suspect it has some thing to do with the neon library.

ii  libneon27                             0.29.3-2                                          An HTTP and WebDAV client library
ii  libneon27-gnutls                      0.29.3-2                                          An HTTP and WebDAV client library (GnuTLS enabled)

It works fine for me - I am also using 10.10. Can you browse to the repository in a web browser OK?

Have you tried again later? Maybe it was a temporary problem with their website that has since been fixed.

Another possibility is that there is something in your subversion config causing an issue. Maybe you could try

mv ~/.subversion ~/.subversion_old

And then try the checkout again.

I cannot replicate this issue with the same version of svn and libneon27. However, there is a related bug report over at Debian. From their discussion it seems that libneon 0.29.3-2 should have fixed the problem. It's possible there has been a regression, but considering multiple other users cannot replicate your problem with the latest version of the package I feel like this is relatively unlikely.

There is a workaround suggested on the Debian bug tracker. Try editing ~/.subversion/servers and adding the line:

http-library=serf

To the end of the file. If this does not correct your issue it becomes even more unlikely that libneon has anything to do with your specific issue.
