Deleted subversion repositories are not really gone

[George Stathis]

Hello,

We have been evaluating JIRA/FishEye OnDemand by doing some trial ticket and code migrations from our current ticketing/source control system.

Now that we are ready to do the final imports, we have deleted our test JIRA projects and associated FishEye/Subversion repositories using these steps (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Deleting+a+project) and are preparing to re-import them from scratch but we are encoutering the following issues:

• We have created new blank projects in Jira OnDamand with the same project keys we used during testing
• It seems that re-using the same project keys is actually re-instating the previously imported subversion / FishEye repos with the same keys. Without actually re-importing the source code, the suposedly deleted folders are browsable in FishEye but show up empty under https : //<company name>.atlassian.net/svn/PROJECT_CODE or when we try to check them out. The revision numbers are actually still there.
• Attempting to re-import the SVN dmp files for these projects yields the same error as in this ticket: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/20450/import-svn-repository-resulted-in-cleandirectorycommand-failed-to-execute-command-bin-rm-rf-data-jirastudio-svn-root-back

Questions:

• Can we re-import our projects using the same codes as before? We really want to use those codes and not have to come up with new ones
• If not, can someone help us actually really delete the old subversion repositories so that we can trully re-import them?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi George,

If you still facing this problem, please raise a support ticket at https://support.atlassian.com . We need to perform some manual procedures on your Subversion server.
