[tools-pmc] Some Buckminster issues

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I've been asked by Matt Ward (see below) to get your approval for adding 
anonymous http access to our SVN repository. Without it, people behind 
firewalls that prevent the svn protocol cannot access our source or run 
our demos. Can you please send an email to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx where 
you request http access for /svnroot/tools?

Ideally, I'd like to have https access as well for our committers. This 
is allowed on /svnroot/technology but for some reason Matt is reluctant 
to allow it on /svnroot/tools. At present, Buckminster is the only 
project in tools that are using SVN. Needless to say, we'd be willing to 
take the risk since we think that the convenience that it brings in 
setting up the client by far overweights the added security risk. So 
from our standpoint, it would be very nice if you could request https 
access as well.

And just a humble reminder. Buckminster is still not visible on the 
www.eclipse.org/tools page.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi Thomas,

This is because by default we don't expose SVN via http/https.  We 
strongly recommend against using the https access method and it is 
enabled for the technology project only because there are committers 
behind a firewall that does not allow SSH connections.  I can enable 
anonymous browsing via http but that request really should come from the 
Tools PMC.

-Matt.
