[GRASS-dev] g.extension problem on Linux

[Robert Lagacé]

I run Grass 7.8.4 on Ubuntu 18.04

I cannot install extension with g.extension. Follow the message from the 
console :

g.extension --verbose extension=r.stream.basins
Fetching <r.stream.basins> from GRASS GIS Addons repository (be patient)...
Downloading source code for <r.stream.basins> from 
<https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons/trunk/grass7/raster/r.stream.basins> 
which is identified as 'official' type of source...

   The problem occours at lline 1227 with the command

if grass.call(['svn', 'export',
                    url, directory], stdout=outdev) != 0:

I had two print lines (l. 344 and l. 1228) to print variables to help debug

The name of the github is 
"https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons/tree/master/". I change it at 
line 2045 but without success.

What is the use of 'svn' in grass.call()

Thanks,
