My linux box has unfortunately died. I can access the raw SVN repositories from a backup and I need to revive them on my Windows box (at least for the timebeing). Is there a way of migrating/importing these repositories, given that I can't run "svnadmin dump" on the linux box?
I'd suggest booting from a Linux live CD of the same distribution as your Linux server, or create a virtual machine with VMWare Player or VirtualBox and mount the filesystem, then you can do an svnadmin dump from there.
As it's no longer in use (no commits or checkouts), try copying the whole repo to your Windows box.

I'm trying to test my development environment and keep getting this error while going through the "Building Your First Network". I've installed the prerequisites on a Windows 10 Home edition so I'm using Docker Toolbox. The error is described as follows and happens just after a execute the ./byfn.sh up -l node command:
2019-11-14 17:06:26.982 UTC [msp] loadCertificateAt -> INFO 002 Failed loading ClientOU certificate at [/var/hyperledger/orderer/msp/cacerts\ca.example.com-cert.pem]: [could not read file /var/hyperledger/orderer/msp/cacerts\ca.example.com-cert.pem: open /var/hyperledger/orderer/msp/cacerts\ca.example.com-cert.pem: no such file or directory]
As you can see there is a backslash just before the ca.example.com-cer.pem which I think is causing the problem. Anyone have an idea of how I might solve this issue?
Docker Toolbox for windows doesn't provide a great experience for users. It's limited in how it can share windows directories with linux containers running in the linux VM it creates. I believe it can be made to work but you have to use very specific folders in your home directory and you would have to google it to find all the details but it's a lot more of a hassle.
You have other options of course
Upgrade to Windows Pro and use Docker for Windows (which doesn't have the same sharing limitations, but still not a great experience and you can still encounter problems sharing the directories)
Install a hypervisor such as virtualbox and run a linux desktop distribution such as ubuntu or mint and use that instead (which I would recommend and would suggest ubuntu 18.04 mate edition)
Wait until next year when hopefully microsoft will release WSL2 for everyone (including home edition) and then Docker won't need a linux VM running and it should be a much better experience trying to run linux containers on windows.
As mentioned by lindluni here
Backslash problem in Hyperledger 2.0.1 when orderer/peer look for .pem files
the problem arises when one creates crypto artifacts under Windows since "golang filepath.Join uses the current OS's filepath scheme". Hence, under Windows backslash is used in all the generated config.yaml files found in crypto-config/*. One can replace this backslashes before the deployment to fix the issue.
I have a Mercurial repository that is located on a NAS (Buffalo TeraStation). It is mounted on a Ubuntu machine and is mapped onto a Windows 7 machine.
I have previously been able to clone, update, etc. from both the Linux machine and the Windows machine, but now am having problems. Too many changes have been made (updating versions of hg, thg, etc.) to identify a specific point where things started to fail.
I can read and write files from both machines from/to the NAS. I can use "cp" to copy entire repositories, but if I attempt to clone using hg (or thg) it fails.
When cloning an existing (in the NAS) repository to the Ubuntu machine, all of the files copy over, but the operation is aborted with the message:
abort: Operation not permitted: (repository_path)/.hg/store/.phaseroots-94sdvj
[command returned code 255 Thu Jul 30 17:39:45 2015
When cloning an exiting (in the NAS) repository to the Windows machine, the cloning hangs (with no files transferred).
I have tried various [trusted] settings to no avail.
I have tried performing the hg clone command manually and it works properly when done with "sudo". However, the cloned repository then is owned by "root".
I'm pretty sure this is a permissions problem, but have run out of ideas. Any guidance would be appreciated!
One thing can think of is support for hardlinks on the NAS you are using.
For example some of the versions of Mercurial had problems with windows shares. For more information here.
I have no explanation for the problem on the Linux machine, but the problems on the Windows machine might be caused by this exact setup (cloning from a Linux drive to a Windows machine).
Years ago, I had similar problems (although with different error messages) when pushing from my Windows machine to repositories on a shared (Linux) NAS drive - see the link for more details.
But that was over five years ago and I didn't try it anymore since then, though.
I have a file which is downloaded from browser. I have boot2docker on my windows machine. From boot2docker, how can i access my downloaded file? Is it possible?
If you setup shared directories with VirtualBox, it is possible, however, it is overly complex for not much.
I'd advise to simply use curl or wget within boot2docker to download your file(s).
An other solution would be to use winscp to upload your file from windows to boot2docker.
The download folder should be mounted in boot2docker already.
From Boot2Docker's README:
Alternatively, Boot2Docker includes the VirtualBox Guest Additions
built in for the express purpose of using VirtualBox folder sharing.
The first of the following share names that exists (if any) will be
automatically mounted at the location specified:
Users share at /Users
/Users share at /Users
c/Users share at /c/Users
/c/Users share at/c/Users`
c:/Users share at/c/Users`
Since Windows' default download location is C:\Users\[username]\Downloads your downloaded file should be in the Boot2Docker VM at /c/Users/[username]/Downloads.
On a local development machine, I use Windows and PuTTY, with a linux server VM that I use to replicate the development environment for things like running tests and so forth. The VM (VirtualBox) uses a vboxfs share that contains my local projects.
I have set up msysgit on my machine to use PuTTY, my preferred SSH client, and that all works fine. Unfortunately, when I set a git remote URL, it has to use PuTTY's format to specify a session (ssh://<session name>/<repo>) in order for msysgit to work, which means none of the git urls work in the VM environment. This isn't a huge deal, but I was curious: Is there a way to reconcile the two configurations so I can use git commands in either environment without manually setting a remote url each time?
One work-around is to install PuTTY on your Linux machine. There are several precompiled versions out there or you can just download the official source and compile them.
I want to know if there is a way to have mirror
folders with a remote machine. I see some solutions for
syncing folders with a backup drive, but I am not interested
in that. I want to sync a folder with a remote machine through
ssh. I am on OSX leopard

Check out the rsync command line utility. You may even be able to find some good GUI applications that build on rsync. Although I haven't tested it, Grsync looks promising.
