build.xml

[Grant Smith <gr...@marathon-man.com>]

I need some help understanding how the current build systems works. Are 
all the individual build.xml files actually svn_externals of the main 
build.xml file ? That would explain why I can't make modifications to 
each one, and commit them.


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Grant

Nice detective work Grant!  You probably now know more about the
subtleties of Ant then you ever wanted to know  :-)

Works fine on Win 32.

Not that I found.  That is annoying while experimenting.  The best way
I found so far is to copy locally (and skip checkin/checkout).  Then
when you're ready to check-in you revert everything but what's in the
top level build dir.

Royal PITA I know ...

If you've been making subproject-specific changes and committing them,
please roll those back ;-)

Yes, there is only one build folder, which is svn:externalized (or
whatever is the word here), so every subproject has the same build
structure. What make every subproject build different is a set of
properties situated in the parent folder of every subproject (a
build.properties file). As there is only one build file, it cannot
contain any subproject adaptation and has to be the same for every
subproject. Only some tuning in the build.properties files is valid
;-)...
