J. Kissel After months of at-best "really annoying" and at-worst "progress crippling" woes with svn 1.6 version checkout of the calibration group's SVN repository, on the CDS workstations'(i.e. the /ligo/svncommon/CalSVN/ folder of ... "the boot machine" or "file server" I think they call it ... I think), I bit the bullet and reconciled (checked in) everything local, and then hit "svn upgrade" at the root level of the check out. jeffrey.kissel@zotws3:/ligo/svncommon/CalSVN/aligocalibration$ svn --version svn, version 1.9.5 (r1770682) compiled Jul 21 2018, 02:35:40 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Copyright (C) 2016 The Apache Software Foundation. Now we no longer have to type "svn1.6" in the repo, and we can make svn calls from scripts again. You're welcome Evan! #DeeeeHardWoofs
