Checking out code from svn

Hi,

This worked for me

PACKAGE="myapp"
SRC_URI = "${SVN_ROOT}/path_to_module/;module=${PACKAGE};protocol=svn;rev=HEAD"

where SVN_ROOT is something like

SVN_ROOT = "svn://10.10.10.xx"

Hi,

I am looking for some help with incorporating a svn check out into a recipe.

The current syntax I arrived at is:

SRC_URI = "svn://myserverip/Emerald/trunk/Applications/Examples/;module=SampleApplication;protocol=svn;rev=HEAD;user=username;pswd=userpassword"

In interacting with this server I would normally check out using a command like

svn co svn://myserverip/Emerald/trunk/Applications/Example/ SampleApplication SampleApplication

This would give me a directory called SampleApplication with the required source code.

I would normally authenticate myself once in advance of this checkout.

The documentation at

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.3/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#svn-fetcher

mentions

"module": The name of the svn module to checkout. You must provide this parameter. You can think of this parameter as the top-level directory of the repository data you want.

I'm not sure what that means in this context, in my example does it mean the SampleApplication folder?

There is no mention in the current documentation of parameters like user or pswd so I am not sure if these are still used.

Hi,

Yes
user=username
pswd=userpassword

it's still in the bitbake code. But not in the documentation.

Beside providing username and password as a parameter bitbake also parses URI and it can also contain useradata. Where URI scheme:
scheme:[//[user[:password]@]host[:port]][/path][?query][#fragment]

Regarding SVN module and correct svn fetch url creation, documentation misses examples and pitfalls.

if no path_spec, path_spec == module

SRC_URI + module -- ( fetch/checkout sw ) -> downloads/svn/SRC_URI/path_spec downloads/svn/SRC_URI/path_spec -- ( do_unpack ) --> tmp/work/.../<package>/../path_spec/sub_dir

mirror tar -> module_src_uri_revision.tar.gz

Pitfall here is download directory structure and new SVN client (1.7+ version). SVN client doesn't exit when there is conflict in the svn directory. So one have to has unique path in downloads/svn/SRC_URI/path_spec for it packages and shouldn't use multiple svn urls which are finally fetched to downloads/svn/SRC_URI/path_spec

P.S.
For authentication to svn resource you could save your credentials in ~/.subversion dir or use svn+ssh rather than using username and password directly.
