Bug#423487: export requires build dependencies

I don't think that makes sense. I agree. Actually, this dependency issue is not singular to export. It is (was?) needed for tag operations. I think the whole check for features/needs could be redesigned so that a check can be done at the begining, but is taken into account only when needed. The way I think it could be done is to not fail on the initial checks, but to cache the results for the different checks that are done and only when a requirement needs to be fulfilled do a check on the cached result and fail then. Since code sometimes speaks better, here is some pseudocode: svnbpinit: cachedepssatisfied cachetrunkurldefined cachetagsurldefined cacheorigdirexists svnbptag: checknopending or die pending modifications checktagsurldefined or die tags url not defined dotagstuff svnbpexport: if checkusesmerge checkorigdirdefined or die merge is used, but no orig dir Comments are welcome -- Regards, EddyP = Imagination is more important than knowledge A.Einstein signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
