I have not tried a fresh checkout of that revision and i am not sure that the "externals' is the problem. We need to find all the places in that r351990 that used to use 'svn externals'. Then i gather that we can get the 'svn checkout' to ignore the externals http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.externals.html Perhaps these are blocks that Forrest does not use. Otherwise i wonder if we can get the relevant blocks from the current Cocoon-2.1 branch SVN. The other alternatives are to help us get the current Cocoon 2.2 working with current Forrest trunk, or try to integrate the current Cocoon 2.1 branch, or start to work on another proposal to separate from Cocoon. There is recent discussion in our dev archives. I can provide some tips for searching if you want. -David
