It's just the canonical name. So people can type svn co http://.../contrib instead of svn co http://.../contrib Contrib I guess that's the change requiring a change of the auto-builder? I imagine changing the auto-builder is just as simple but if it isn't we should by all means keep the upper case spelling. > > Because ant does not have a svn core task, the exec task is used. > > That sucks. What about using the svn:external property (like we do for > the plugins directory on .7) instead ? I like this idea very much but again, does it require an extensive auto-builder change? Is there a way to tell svn:externals to check out contrib from the same server as freenet was checked out? Because users want to checkout from googlecode while developers want to checkout from emu. But then, we've been checking out from source forge all along, so the logical replacement would be googlecode. Should we peg contrib to a fixed revision? Probably yes, OTOH it doesn't matter too much as contrib doesn't get many updates these days.
