Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] svn failing for win32 package dependencies

[Dale <rhl+dale@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

There appears to be a server configuration or other problem for
    http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/ethereal-win32-libs/

The anonymous Subversion server is not allowing access to the
windows packages upon which an ethereal build depends.

See below (under details) for ethereal-0.10.10 output from:
    nmake -f makefile.nmake setup

In a nutshell,
    http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/ethereal-win32-libs/
seems to be not working.

The error seen by makefile.nmake's setup's call to wget is:
    14:15:25 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.

The error seen for mozilla access to that URL is:
    Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

By the way, the ethereal buildbot Windows builds don't detect this
problem because they always already have the packages downloaded --
e.g., giving a message like:
    File `glib-dev-2.4.7.zip' already there, will not retrieve.


Details:  Feel free not to read on if the above is sufficient.
