Hi Alexander,

It looks like the channel file is there, but the xml file doesn’t have the correct content type. FTA –

“There’s a small issue with using Google code to host the xml files, and that’s that the content-type needs to be sent as application/xml or text/xml for the channel files to be read correctly, so set the mime-type property for the xml files.”

You’ll have to run this for all the xml files:
svn propset svn:mime-type application/xml channel.xml

I’m not sure how to set that for all the xml files with Windows. On linux/unix we’d just do:
find . -name ‘*.xml’ | xargs svn propset svn:mime-type application/xml

Set those properties, commit the files, and you should be good to go.

Channel was created and uploaded to Google Code but I got such errors during channel-discover (errors descriptions are from “pear update-channels” but it doent metters, descriptions are the same):

Updating channel “habrahabr.googlecode.com/svn”
Channel “habrahabr.googlecode.com/svn” is not responding over http://, failed with message: File http://habrahabr.googlecode.com:80/svn/channel.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
)
Trying channel “habrahabr.googlecode.com/svn” over https:// instead
Cannot retrieve channel.xml for channel “habrahabr.googlecode.com/svn” (File https://habrahabr.googlecode.com:443/svn/channel.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
))

Used PEAR 1.7.2 & 1.9.0; It wery strange ‘couse channel.xml files are availbe =\

Yep. The \ is the namespace separator. You’ll need PHP >= 5.3

C:\>php -v
PHP 5.2.11 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2009 15:10:54)

Maybe it’s explain my problem =)

Just as an update, if you receive a message like – Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/REST/10.php
This means an xml file served out by the channel does not have text/xml or application/xml as the content type. Remember to re-run find . -name ‘*.xml’ | xargs svn propset svn:mime-type application/xml when you release a new package.
