I have a script, which is used in our installer creation process and it works as follows (on Windows):
- Create a new target directory - Run svn commands to get the needed files into that dir - Run svn command to download the installer engine binary into its own dir - Run svn command to download the installer script itself - Start the installer engine with the script as argument This produces a new installation file in the installers directory. The svn command I am using is svn export since I don't want to create a versioned container and I also want to collect files from various different locations including documentation which will be part of the installer. What I would like to know is if there is an svn export command switch of some kind that can be used to export a set of files in one go if they reside in the same subversion directory? Right now I am repeating the following typical sequence, where the svn commands have to be run *inside* the target directory (variable SVNREPO has been set to the repository URL earlier): if EXIST Manager rmdir /s /q Manager mkdir Manager cd Manager svn export %SVNREPO%/Manager.exe .\ if errorlevel 1 goto error svn export %SVNREPO%/ssleay32.dll .\ if errorlevel 1 goto error svn export %SVNREPO%/libeay32.dll .\ if errorlevel 1 goto error svn export %SVNREPO%/doc/Manager_instructions.pdf .\ So to get these 4 files I have to issue 4 different svn commands... And I have had to create the target dir and move into it before doing this because otherwise the command instead of creating a subdir to stuff the file into exports the source file into a file named as the directory it is supposed to go into... Example: svn --force export %SVNREPO%/ssleay32.dll TargetDir This creates a *file* TargetDir with the content of ssleay32.dll instead of ssleay32.dll inside of TargetDir I would like to use a single svn command per source dir and get all the needed files from there at the same time according to a supplied list. Is this possible at all? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
