We are in the process of moving our SVN repositories from one machine to another one, and with it will come a new domain name for the new repo. The problem is, that within the repository, there are lots of svn:externals references to other projects within the repository. So for example, we have projectA, which has in the svn:externals ...
We are considering a move from SVN to Mercurial, and have encountered a stumbling block. We currently use svn:externals to automatically pull a common set of libraries into the working directory. I can't find support for anything like this in Mercurial. Is there a way to do this automatically with Mercurial, or do I need to fake it as ...
I am new to SVN and make heavy use of the externals property. I have a repository located on my PC and the externals properties have a hardcoded 'localhost' in the name, which is now giving me problems. For example: /project1/trunk /shared/trunk project1/trunk depends on the shared folder so has an svn:externals property of svn://lo...
I migrated an SVN server today and ran into an issue. I have a repo that has an svn:externals property on a trunk subfolder. This folder has been branched a bunch of times and now this svn:externals reference needs updated on every single branch to refer to the new server. Is there an easy way to update all of these properties? I'm not...
I'm looking for a succinct and well-written tutorial on using svn:externals. I already know how to use them in a basic way myself, but I want a good article that I can link to when answering questions like this one that come up recently: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/662898/what-to-do-with-multiple-projects-depend-on-the-same-s...
I am running an svn project with optional components - pulling from several external repositories, and a number of users with varying access permissions to these externals. The 'svn update' command aborts at the first project that it cannot retrieve. Is there a better or standard methodology for svn:externals to allow successful checko...
Should i resolve myself to add third party and ajax libraries that i use in my project - tinyMCE editor for example (more than 1800 files) or fckEditor - when my project doesn't contain nearly as many files, just for the sake of compilation? or should i just find a way to add it to the build later? ...
I know there is a question about relative paths in subversion, but it doesn't work for me. The error I get is: svn propset svn:externals "openscada_da_server_common ../../openscada_da_server_common/schema" /tmp/atlantis-trunk/org.openscada.da.client.viewer/schema svn: Ungültige Eigenschaft svn:externals auf »/tmp/atlantis-trunk/or...
Hello, I have a post-commit hook that is updating a working copy. In that working copy some of the files are externals witch have authentication. Is there a way to pass the login credentials to the svn update only for the externals ? Right now it does the update but because the external asks for login, it fails to update the external l...
I am using svn 1.6, is it possible to have: ? source directory shared\code\depends\make1.3 - contains file make.1.3 target directory trunk\make\ - i want make.1.3 in trunk\make\ Have an SVN external from the above source to the target I have tried /shared/code/depends/make1.3 make When i do an update i get error: External faile...
I am about to establish a rule at work here that all svn:externals references should come from the one of the other project's tag, never from its trunk or from any of its branches. Is this a reasonable rule or do you see problems / issues with this approach? I am trying to achieve a stable development environment and I wonder if this rul...
hi all i have a directory called 'library' in my SVN tree which uses externals to load libs such as zend framework/smarty/.... im using a self written tool which uses "svn list" where i can select files which should be uploaded to the servers and it seems svn list doesnt load external props and thus the library directory is empty whic...
I'm looking into svn externals for my company, and it seems like it would be a good feature for us to use. We have several products that often reference shared components, but have a bad habit of falling behind into older versions and even differently branched codebases sometimes. I've read a decent bit about how they work now, and I th...
I'm using the svn:external to get projects like Nlog and Lucene.net. They don't have a vs2008 csproj file. I can create that one easely so I can add it to other projects. Is it now possible to add this 2008 project file to our internal source control? ...
I've read a few answers on here that condemn the use of svn:externals. I do see how they can be misused, and it does make us more dependent on Subversion, but I really don't see our group moving away from it anytime soon. Anyway, here's my dilemma. We have Solutions that reference multiple Projects which are in their own section of ...
I'm using subversion to host my own repository for a WordPress installation. I've got it set up so that all of the core WordPress files are in their own directory (called wordpress) and set up to use svn:externals to link to the WordPress repository. I then have my own copy of the wp-content directory (located outside of the wordpress di...
Is Subversion's 'Lazy Copy' still lazy when overwriting a previously deleted file? I store my externals in a separate folder for each version: i.e say for dojo I'd have: webroot\ scripts\ dojo-v-1.0.0\ dojo-v-1.1.0\ etc. By doing this, for me at least, I feel it makes it easier to switch over to a new version. By only addin...
I've made one svn:external in my repository. Everything works fine, exect the ouput of the "svn status". In the output there is lot of information I don't need: $ svn st X lib Performing status on external item at 'lib' I can run ‘svn st --ignore-externals -q‘ and I can place this line in a small script, but maybe there is bette...
Hi - something that should be so simple in .net seems to be oh-so-hard. I have a project called MyExtenders, containing a few simple extenders to basic types. Many projects use MyExtenders - and so in traditional svn checkout and build approach I add MyExtenders as an svn:external with the revision locked to whichever it was last built...
I'm migrating a set of projects from Subversion to Mercurial. The projects currently use svn:externals to pull code from one into the others. I've been following the recommendation to point externals to a specific revision number and manually update it as needed (so that when I update to a past revision of the main project, I get the pas...
