[reportlab-users] Reportlab SVN repository inaccessible via https with recent svn/neon versions

[Jeff Kowalczyk]

The reportlab SVN repository is inaccessible via https for users
with recent versions of neon, a dependency of subversion.

Regenerating the server certificate should correct the problem,
details below:

Debian Bug report logs - #548773
[libneon27-gnutls] authentication to subversion via https fails with "Insecure Algorithm" error

An example of the error message on my system:

$ svn co https://svn.reportlab.com/svn/public/reportlab/trunk reportlab 
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.reportlab.com/svn/public/reportlab/trunk': Certificate verification error: signed using insecure algorithm (https://svn.reportlab.com)

$ git svn clone -s https://svn.reportlab.com/svn/public/reportlab 
Initialized empty Git repository in /software/reportlab/.git/
RA layer request failed: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.reportlab.com/svn/public/reportlab': Certificate verification error: signed using insecure algorithm (https://svn.reportlab.com) at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 1869

with the following versions of neon and subversion:

net-misc/neon-0.29.0  USE="expat gnutls nls ssl zlib -doc -kerberos -libproxy -pkcs11" LINGUAS="-cs -de -fr -ja -nn -pl -ru -tr -zh_CN"

dev-util/subversion-1.6.6  USE="apache2 bash-completion gnome-keyring nls perl python ruby sasl webdav-neon -berkdb -ctypes-python -debug -doc -dso -emacs -extras -java -kde -test -vim-syntax -webdav-serf"
