hi. Yep. Based on my reading, "git svn" does not yet support svn:externals at all. One may use a number of different helper scripts to get around this difficulty. There are also many strategies to solving this problem. One that might be useful is: https://github.com/andrep/git-svn-clone-externals
It is worth noting that simply creating a symlink in the right place may not create builds that are portable from that development system (this was my experience on Linux anyway using cmake and Makefiles)--- "make install" will merely copy the symlink--- not follow it. Symlinks, while supported on NTFS/Windows are less common than in Unix-like operating systems, so one might not see this issue on that platform. Finally, I wanted to thank the Blender development community for making such an awesome work of art. Moreover, I commend the maintainers of the Blender build systems, it is now trivial to get blender built on GNU/Linux using cmake. So a big Thank You to everyone who has added to the amazing thing that is Blender! have a day.yad jdpf On Mar 13, 2012, at 7:53 AM, Martin Poirier wrote: > Hi, > > The datafiles directory has the following svn property: > > svn:externals = locale > https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-translations/trunk/locale > > Which links the locale subdirectory to another repository. > > This is also the case for release/scripts for the addons and addons_contrib > folders: > > > addons https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/trunk/py/scripts/addons > addons_contrib > https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/contrib/py/scripts/addons > > > Looks like git's svn support doesn't allow externals out of the box. > > Good luck! > > > Martin > > > > > >> ________________________________ >> From: Wander Lairson Costa <[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 7:44:16 AM >> Subject: [Bf-committers] Directory visibility on web and git access >> >> Dear all, >> >> I am new to blender and this is my first post in this mailing list. >> >> Recently I tried to download blender source code from official svn >> repository through "git svn": >> >> $ mkdir blender-svn >> $ cd blender-svn >> $ git svn clone https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender >> blender >> >> Code compile successfully but I got an error during "make install", >> saying "locale" file was not found.
