Martin& Tim brought up the issue of externals which the buildbots
use on Windows to bring in and build slightly patched versions of external
libraries such as OpenSSL and sqlite3.
The issue in hgsubversion (which is different from hgsvn) has been
fixed. The current problem is some oddity in the SVN bindings where it
keeps complaining about having too many files open... I've been
troubleshooting this in my thesis downtime, but nothing definitive
yet. I'd like to hear more about where these externals are, so we can
look into fixing that. Recent Mercurial includes support for svn
subrepos, which might be usable for this.
This isn't really about svn:externals, but about
http://svn.python.org/projects/external/
which gets used in
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Tools/buildbot/external-common.bat
There may not be a problem - all is needed is a recommendation how
to replace it. The requirements are these:
- multiple versions of external libraries
- each Python version only needs a single copy of the library
- we make changes to the code after its imported from upstream,
and want to remember what these changes are
Regards,
Martin
