[Catalyst] Checking out sources with svk?

[Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum]

Hi,

Im trying to check out the Catalyst sources using svk on a Debian system. The wiki says that the sources are at http://dev.catalystframework.org/svnweb/Catalyst so i took the svk advice from the Advent Calender to try to do this:

 $ svk mirror http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst //mirror/Catalyst
 $ svk sync -r HEAD //mirror/Catalyst
 $ svk co //mirror/Catalyst

but in the first line i used http://dev.catalystframework.org/svnweb/Catalyst
instead. I got this:

$ svk mirror http://dev.catalystframework.org/svnweb/Catalyst //mirror/Catalyst
Repository /home/jen/.svk/local does not exist, create? (y/n)y
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/SVN/Core.pm line 584.
XML data was not well-formed: 
$

What am i doing wrong? Also "svk sync -r" gives an "unknown option: r" error.

I havent used svk before.

Could the Advent Calender be updated, or the wiki updated so thatt here are clear instructions for doing this?

Thanks!

Jen
