Re: Applications and Projects

Thanks Ben, but no, the repository, working copy and export all need to
be 'flat' with only one App1, App2 (... and AppN).

Given that, what do you think about the (non-svn) 'depends' property I
introduced in my first mail in this thread (from last mail I sent):

"What do you think of the 'depends' property I suggested as a solution,
where a modified "svn export" would use the values to handle exporting
the dependencies also. The depends property would be set on each
project and list the Apps that it depends on. Then when the export is
done, the Apps are exported also. I may be able to use this for
checkouts, though I'll have to do some experimentation to find out what
problems this may raise."

To confirm what I mean, when a Project is exported, the exporting
script would check if a 'depends' property is set on the project and if
so it would issue separate "svn export" commands for each one listed.
This should be able to deliver the export:

App1
App2
Proj1
Proj2

Anyone any thoughts about this?

Thanks and regards,

Brooke
