Hello, Somebody mentioned this before, but I thought it is worth bringing up again.
PROBLEM Checking out files for OpenSceneGraph is a multi-step process. SOLUTION Use svn:externals EXPLANATION We could make it easier for the open source community to get their files, by simplifying checking out from multiple locations to just one. By using svn:externals we could set up an svn folder that users can check out. This svn folder would have external references to the OpenThreads location, the OpenSceneGraph location, and possibly 3rdParty files and example models. LINK This link explains svn:externals http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html DETAILS I believe this is all you need to do: Create a directory in the depot called something like OSG_OT_3rdParty/trunk. cd OSG_OT_3rdParty/trunk svn propedit svn:externals . //This will bring up an editor. Add this: OpenSceneGraph http://www.openscenegraph.com/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/trunk OpenThreads http://www.openscenegraph.com/svn/osg/OpenThreads/trunk Then all one has to do is check out: http://www.openscenegraph.com/svn/osg/OSG_OT_3rdParty/trunk RECOMMENDATION I highly recommend doing this for OpenSceneGraph and OpenThreads. Otherwise, novices of svn will definitely screw something up. We could also create a trunk that externally references 3rdParty libs (if they are in svn) such as ReplicantBody, Cal3D, dem, etc, but that will probably be too overwelming for some.
