The relevant commands, for several of the tools, are: "svn update" "git pull" "darcs pull --all" "hg pull" "mtn pull" Distributed SCMs seem to favor "pull" over "update" The only thing about this that would be a bit tricky is that buildfarm presently treats a certain format of output as indicating that no changes were found. The "expected output" for other SCMs will differ somewhat. And this isn't so vastly tricky a matter as to be considered an obstacle. Indeed, I think that it would be an entirely reasonable thing to expect to modify buildfarm a little bit so that it could cope with multiple SCMs, and for us to have a few "animals" set up specifically to track some SCMs. This clearly ISN'T a barrier of the sort that Jan suggested. -- http://linuxfinances.info/info/linuxdistributions.html "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." -- assortedly attributed to Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Rita Mae Brown, and Rudyard Kipling ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
