" "I
can enable anonymous browsing via http"
Sounds like Matt is offering to enable
browsing - which implies a read-only interface ... I am OK with this and
it's consistent with existing access to the tools cvs repository via http.


By CC, Webmaster, please enable this
feature. 

I'd like to understand the details and
implications of allowing https and presumably committer (write) access
before moving forward on that. 

and Buckminster is now visible the tools
main page.

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.
