Check if svn repository exists

Question

I am trying to compile this package, however after executing make runuhttpd, I get the following error:

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire/package/uhttpd/src uhttpd-src
svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.openwrt.org': Connection timed out
make[1]: *** [uhttpd-src/Makefile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/michael/Documents/openwrt/luci/trunk/contrib/uhttpd'
*** Compilation of contrib/uhttpd failed!
make: *** [gccbuild] Error 1

Am I doing something wrong or is svn.openwrt.org down?

Answer 1

Either svn.openwrt.org is down, or you cannot reach it.

Have you tried doing svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire/package/uhttpd/src uhttpd-src from the command line?

Update: It works for me at the moment:

$ svn info svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire/package/uhttpd/src
Path: src
URL: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/backfire/package/uhttpd/src
Relative URL: ^/branches/backfire/package/uhttpd/src
Repository Root: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt
Repository UUID: 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73

So either it was a temporary glitch, and works for you now as well, or you cannot access the server from your site.
