2009/2/18 "Martin v. Löwis" <martin at v.loewis.de>:

this will use externals, (see http://svn.python.org/projects/distutils/trunk/) This I don't understand. There is file named EXTERNALS.txt, but I don't understand its purpose.

This is how I work with externals. This file is used to store the svn:externals property and have it in a clear human readable text filethat can be seen in any svn viewer.

If I need to change the externals I change this file and do:

$ svn propset svn:externals -F EXTERNALS.txt $ svn ci . EXTERNALS.txt -m "comment"

then, if you do a checkout of http://svn.python.org/projects/distutils/trunk it will grab Python's Lib/distutils.

Let me know if this is not wanted. I can drop it it's no big deal.

Regards Tarek

Regards, Martin
