Commons SVN information ======================= Commons is split up into three subsections: Proper Released components, developed and maintained by Commons committers. Sandbox In development components, any Apache committer may request access. Sandbox components move to Proper before a release. Dormant Inactive unreleased components. Sandbox components that didn't make it end up here. To bring a component back from dormancy, bring the subject up on the mailing list. ---- Each of the above contains many independent components which may be checked out individually: svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/[subsection]/[component]/trunk [component] To check all of the components in a subsection out at the same time, trunks-[subsection] directories are provided as a convenience. This is done via svn:externals. N.B. This will require a lot of disk space and network resources ---- To add or remove an entry to the svn:externals, do the following: svn co --depth=files https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/trunks-[subsection] svn propedit svn:externals trunks-[subsection] svn ci -m "Adding/removing Foo to [subsection]" trunks-[subsection] ---- NOTE: the shared Commons KEYS file is held at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/commons/KEYS To update the file, check it out as follows: svn co --depth=files https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/commons/ Do not omit the --depth=files or you will download all the source and binary releases!
