svn anonymous login is ignored

I put the following into "source" in PKGBUILD:

manta-svn::svn+http://anonymous:@gforge.sci.utah.edu/svn/Manta/trunk

But when I run makepkg, it still asks for login credentials to the svn repo. 
Is svn source with authentication supported?  Or am I writing it in the wrong way?

(You can find my full PKGBUILD in the "manta-svn" package in AUR.)

Re: svn anonymous login is ignored

I doubt very much makepkg supports svn authentication through sources= , fortunately svn can take care ofthat.

run the checkout command manually
run svn auth .

you will see something like this

Credential kind: svn.simple
Authentication realm: <https://gforge.sci.utah.edu:443> Document repository
Password cache: simple
Password: [not shown]
Username: anonymous

use this in the PKGBUILD :

manta-svn::svn+http://gforge.sci.utah.edu/svn/Manta/trunk
