I tried following the directions on the web site - http://www.boost.org/users/download/ Which states the following:

ACCESSING THE BOOST SUBVERSION REPOSITORY

The Subversion repository

can be accessed in several ways:

* Anonymous, read-only access to

the Boost Subversion repository is available at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost [1]. To access the current Boost development code, for instance, one would check out from http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk [2]. For example, using the command-line svn, one might use:

svn co

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk [3] boost-trunk

On Windows, TortoiseSVN [4] provides an easy-to-use, graphical interface to Subversion.

However it didn't work. It started to, it got part way through the download then asked for a password. Now that's all it does:

~/boost $ svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk

Authentication realm: Boost SVN repository Subversion Access

Password for 'user':

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://svn.boost.org)

What password is expected, and why is it not listed on the web page in the download instructions? http://www.boost.org/users/download/ Links: ------ [1] http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost [2] http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk [3] http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk [4] http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
