[Mageia-dev] mgarepo, svn and working from external debian server

Fri Jun 22 05:03:37 CEST 2012

As someone who have a limited uplink bandwith and originally planed to work on a package which have almost a gigabyte of sources, I thought that maybe I can circumvent this by using my external Debian server to upload the huge sources, so as to avoid using a hole day of uploading using mgarepo.
+
+so I checked out the package on Debian using svn co, but the sources wasn't checked out.
+
+So how do I use svn on Debian (and not on Mageia/Mandriva) to checkout and checkin the SOURCES, and not just the sha1, and the specfile?
+The mageia wikipage on svn usage doesn't explain this, and Google doesn't help on this.
+
+If this works as I hope, I plan to maintain ufoai and ufoai-data, starting by upgrading them to the latest version. (Which is the software that made me start rpm packaging back in 2010, as apprentice on Mandriva, to begin with. :-)= )
