[fpc-pascal] fpc and lazarus svn thru firewall

[Bob Barry]

My ISP uses a proxy firewall, and SVN will not work thru it or around it.
Requests for the proxy to accomodate subversion have brought no action.
I finally found tips for using subversion through an http firewall at:
        http://www.bluemarsh.com/java/subversion.html,

Desproxy homepage is http://desproxy.sourceforge.net, and downloads are at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/desproxy.  Packages are available for many
distributions.

The following schemes for svn checkout and update work for me.  Each task
could probably be put into a single script by running desproxy as a
background process.  I haven't tried that yet.

#===================================
# checkout

        # in xterm1, as root:
        desproxy svn.freepascal.org 80 proxy3.webstorm.co.za 8080 1023

        # in xterm2, as root:
        . cdsvn         # change to svn directory
        svn co http://localhost:1023/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
        svn co http://localhost:1023/svn/lazarus/trunk/ lazarus
        cd fixes
        svn co http://localhost:1023/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_0 fpc

        # in xterm1, as root:
        ctrl-C

#===================================
# update

# __NOTE__:
# The url used during checkout is stored in each ".svn/entries" file,
# so desproxy setup for update must be identical to that of checkout.

        # in xterm1, as root:
        desproxy svn.freepascal.org 80 proxy3.webstorm.co.za 8080 1023

        # in xterm2, as root:
        . cdsvn         # change to svn directory
        svn update fpc
        svn update lazarus
        cd fixes
        svn update fpc

        # in xterm1, as root:
        ctrl-C

Thanks to Miguelanxo Otero Salgueiro for creating desproxy, and to
Nathan for his tips at http://www.bluemarsh.com/java/subversion.html,
