Description Malte S. Stretz 2004-01-10 17:22:51 UTC
Version:           3.0.0b2 (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r8

I just tried this:
1. Choose Project->Import existing project...
2. Change <Fetch from:> "Subversion"
3. Click <Fetch Module>
4. Change <Checkout from:> to
   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/spamassassin/
5. Fill out the other widgets.
6. Press <OK>

Result: I get a dialog telling me that Gideon
| Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
| klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'svn+https'.

Same for plain HTTP. This renders the SVN support more or less useless.
Comment 1 Jens Dagerbo 2004-01-14 18:23:25 UTC
Unless I'm mistaken, the KDevelop subversion plugin depends on the kio_svn ioslave which is so far only available from KDE CVS (in kdenonbeta/kio_svn).

The error message could clearly be better, and I have never used the subversion plugin, so I can't say I know it works, but the reason for the malfunction in this report is the missing ioslave, so it is not a bug.

Closing. Please reopen if I'm wrong. :)
Comment 2 Malte S. Stretz 2004-01-14 22:34:24 UTC
Good point. I'll try to build kio_svn.

But maybe configure should check for kio_svn additionally to the subversion libs? The one isn't very useful without the outher :)
