How can I checkout password-protected subversion repositories with bitbake?

I am having an issue regarding the svn fetcher of OpenEmbedded/bitbake. When I use:

svn://PATH/;proto=https;module=trunk

or

svn://PATH/;proto=https;module=trunk;username=ABC;password=XYZ

bitbake won't do anything. It just waits after:

NOTE: Fetch
svn://DOMAIN/svn/src/www/home/trunk/resources/tree/src/metadata-input/trunk/;proto=https;modul开发者_如何学Pythone=trunk
Authentication realm: <https://DOMAIN.de:443> svn/src/www

I tried typing in my password or username then password but nothing happens. After I cancel with Control-C I get a prompt on the command line:

Password for 'USERNAME':

Can someone please give me a hint on solving this? Switching to http or svn+ssh is not an option in my company.

The parameters should be user= and pswd=, e.g.:

svn://PATH/;proto=https;module=trunk;user=bob;pswd=password

Under newer versions of bitbake provided with yocto, you would make a recipe that looks something like this (line breaks for clarity):

SRC_URI= "svn://svn.example.com/svnreponame/trunk/;\
module=HelloWorld;\
protocol=https;\
user=jrandom;\
pswd= \
"

Note that "module" is just the name of the directory to check out from subversion's perspective.

I've left the password off so it isn't stored in your source-code control system with the rest of the recipe. If you provide a username without a password in the recipe, subversion will look for cached credentials in its usual places. Checking out a working copy elsewhere on the machine with the build user should be sufficient to trigger subversion to ask about caching credentials.

Try setting up a .netrc file in your home directory containing the username and password to your server. Bitbake uses wget to fetch files, which in turn reads .netrc for passwords.

For example, you could add to your ~/.netrc file a single line:

machine example.com login john.smith password ABC123

to inform wget to login to example.com with username john.smith and password ABC123.
