[Jython-dev] full-build using svn checkout

[Oti <oh...@gm...>]

Hi Frank,

after some trials, I managed to checkout from svn using the svn ant task.

from ant.properties:
  javahl.dir=3DC:/Programme/Subversion/javahl

from build.xml:
        <svn javahl=3D"${javahl.dir}" >
        =09<checkout url=3D"https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jython/trun=
k/jython"
                                destPath=3D"${cvs.checkout.dir}/jython"
revision=3D"2716" />
        =09<checkout
url=3D"https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jython/trunk/installer"
                              =20
destPath=3D"${cvs.checkout.dir}/installer" revision=3D"2716" />
        </svn>

leads to the attached (shortened) console output.


Now my question:

Up to now we had the cvs.tag property which both indicated the tag to
checkout from and the version name (something with Release_2_2).
With svnant it is not possible to checkout a tag, but only a revision.
I suggest to split the cvs.tag property into two properties:
  svn.revision,   example: 2716
and
  version.tag,    example: Release_2_2_alpha2 (or whatever you will
tag it in the future)

Does this sound reasonable ?

Thanks,
Oti.
