SVN does not import .so files

I am importing Android source code base into SVN. Android provides lots of .so and .a files in its release. These .so and .a file are not getting imported into svn.

The following are the related items in my "config" file, still it not importing.

  • The gloabl ignore flag. It is commented by default '#' global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so .so.[0-9] *.a *.pyc *.pyo '#' *.rej ~ ## .#* .*.swp .DS_Store
  • The auto properties. It has been set to yes
    enable-auto-props = yes
  • .so file enabled in auto properties flag.
    [auto-props]
    *.c = svn:eol-style=native
    *.cpp = svn:eol-style=native
    *.h = svn:eol-style=native
    '#' *.dsp = svn:eol-style=CRLF
    '#' *.dsw = svn:eol-style=CRLF
    '#' *.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable
    *.txt = svn:eol-style=native
    *.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
    *.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
    Makefile = svn:eol-style=native
    *.so = svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream
    .a = svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream
    .so.     = svn:mime-type=application/octet-stream

Inspite of all this I am unable to import the .so and .a files. Need suggestions.

Thanks,
ARVR

Forgot, to specify, if I do 'svn add *', without any --no-ignore, the .so and .a files do get added without any issue. - ARVR

if you have not set a global ignore at all, then SVN automatically uses the default global ignore. That means, the line

# global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so .so.[0-9] *.a *.pyc *.pyo '#' .rej ~ ## .# .*.swp .DS_Store

is actually the very same as:

global-ignores = *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so .so.[0-9] *.a *.pyc *.pyo '#' .rej ~ ## .# .*.swp .DS_Store

since if nothing is specified, the default value is used.

To not ignore *.so and .so.[0-9] files, you have to uncomment the gobal-ignores part in your config file and either specify there an empty line or your own global ignore list.

Maybe you have an active svn:ignore rule which blocks the import.
