That's correct.
Think of svn:externals as like a symbolic link, but the link is not a *file*
itself but a property of a directory. So, you won't see it, but svn will.
So (using the current myfaces repository) if you are in myfaces/current/ (or
whatever you called it) and you do 'svn proplist .' <==== notice the
period, that was intentional, but it is not required
[Everything after the $ is my interaction on the command line]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces
$ svn proplist .
Properties on '.':
svn:ignore
svn:externals
Ok, so that tells me there are:
- svn properties for ignoring file types (like .cvsignore)
- svn properties that describe external locations that svn will pull during
a checkout or update
Now I want to see what I pulled by checking out 'current'.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces
$ svn propget svn:externals . <==== (there's that period again)
build https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/build/trunk
api https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/api/trunk
impl https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/impl/trunk

tomahawk https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/tomahawk/trunk
forrest https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/forrest/trunk
That explains where everything is coming from now, but what is this "share"
business?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces
$ cd tomahawk/
(let's look at what's in tomahawk)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces/tomahawk
$ ls -l
total 5
drwxr-xr-x+ 5 jmitchell None 0 Jun 24 11:17 build

drwxr-xr-x+ 5 jmitchell None 0 Jun 24 11:18 tld
(Ok, I see "share", but it looks normal to me)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces/tomahawk
$ svn proplist .
Properties on '.':
svn:externals
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces/tomahawk
$ svn propget svn:externals .
build https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/build/trunk
share https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/impl/trunk/share
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/svn/myfaces/tomahawk
$ svn status
X build
X share
X tld/entities
X tld/misc
Performing status on external item at 'build'
Performing status on external item at 'share'
Performing status on external item at 'tld/entities'
Performing status on external item at 'tld/misc'
By now you should see the pattern here.
The only difficult part of this is keeping up with what is real and what is
pulled in via svn:externals. Trust me, if you change something in
current/tomahawk/tld/misc, but it will be reflected across all the locations
that include it.
FYI - you could probably deal with the issue of missing RSS files in a
similar manner (use svn:externals to pull in the missing sources right from
commons).

Hi Sean,
So far so good!
I've tried the 'download-dependencies' and it works fine except for the
1.2 version of commons-validator.jar which is to be expected until that
is released.
The myfaces-current looks good except for getting multiple copies of the
share code, is that expected?
myfaces-current/
api/
src/java
build/
examples/
forest/
impl/
share/src <-- share src, this is where it belongs correct? The
'home' of share if I'm reading the svn:externals correctly.
src <-- impl src
sandbox/
tomahawk/
share/src <-- share src, I did not expect this
src <-- tomahawk src
If this is just noise for you now please feel free to let me know, I
don't want to make it more difficult for you.
Thanks again,
-bd-

Martin,
I'm still working on the build so I haven't had a chance to post
instructions yet.
Try https://svn.apache.org/asf/repos/myfaces/current
It takes a little while but that has nothing to do with the reorg,
just the volume of files. If its hanging on you there might be a
problem with the SVN server or on your end.
Keep me posted.

Hi everyone,
how do you guys handle the checkout of the newly laid out subversion
tree? I am trying to checkout all at once, but both Tortoise SVN and
the subversion command line client (on my windows box) stop dead
sometime during the process (it seems to be that there is just too
much to checkout if all the branches are coming out as well?).
What to do instead? I don't want to checkout only trunk in every
subdirectory of MyFaces, that would take to long I think, and I
couldn't do a single update anymore.
Does anyone have suggestions to solve this problem?
regards,
Martin
