Source tarballs!
Hi..
Can anyone put up source tarballs on the site ?

Sanket

Yah, indeed, but that's not too much of a burden. That's probably good
practice anyway for doing the binary and source snapshots - some script
that does that for a provided revision number, does a checkout, and then
kicks off the regular script in the checked-out tree...

No, don't add .svn - it doubles everything as there's a complete copy in
there.
My reasoning is this - if someone can't do "svn checkout" to get the
tree to start with, adding this baggage won't help them. They are
getting the source snapshot because they probably can't get to SVN.

Perhaps :)
But I'm curious if just iterating his way to the first checkout solves
his problem w/o us having to burden every other person who wants a
source snapshot with a double-size snapshot...
I wish SVN had a mode where .svn and meta information in .svn was there,
and it would populate the copy in .svn on first svn operation. of
course, most users would modify locally before touching svn to do
something, so that prollie wouldn't work.

Perhaps Sanket is an example of someone who would use a source
download with .svn included to kick start a checkout?

Have you tried just doing "svn co <URL>" in a loop? it should

Download a tar ball with a download manager seems to be easier, despite the size. Further, I believe, casual developers often refrain from downloading the source as they dont know svn tricks.
My problem is a slow network connection. I have tried downloading via svn but it just freezes after downloading few initial files. :-(
I'm just dying to get my hands dirty with Harmony code, but couldnt do so for past few weeks. It would be great if you guys can put up bzip/tar file.

Sanket

I did briefly look at adding a source snapshot to the snapshot target
but decided that trying to avoid picking up any non-source files was
too error prone and that the only reliable way to make them is to take
a clean checkout.
While looking at this, I wondered about whether the source snapshot
should include .svn directories. Having them might be useful to get
the initial checkout that people could then update. However, the .svn
directories do account for some 135M my harmony tree which comes to
around 18M for a "gzip -9" tar - approximately double the size.

Yes - we should do this in the future for our snapshots - include a src
tarball at the same time.
If no one beats me to it, I'll do one for the latest binary snapshot
that's out there.
I don't want to do one w/ HEAD as we have some regressions people are
looking into...
