Re: [SVN-MIGRATION] Symbolic link between PECL and PHP for OCI8?

There are no symlinks possible in SVN.

My googling says sym links are available in SVN from 1.1 - at least on Unix. And I believe on Windows it would give you a copy of the linked files.

This is handled using svn:externals.

OK.

The directory will show up when you check out the module using the SVN client.

I installed SVN 1.5.5 and did indeed get the external repositories pulled when I ran:

    svn --username=sixd co http://svn.php.net/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/

For the record, svn 1.4.2 failed to pull all the external repositories. Checkout fails at the end with:

    Fetching external item into 'PHP_5_3/ext/^/php/pecl/bz2/branches/PHP_5_3'
    svn: '.' is not a working copy
    svn: Can't open file '.svn/entries': No such file or directory

Based on Hannes's comment about not using svn 1.5.1, I assume that 1.5.2 is the minimum client version needed, not that there was something buggy just in 1.5.1? Chris -- Email: christopher.jones@oracle.com Tel: +1 650 506 8630 Twitter: http://twitter.com/ghrd Free PHP Book: http://tinyurl.com/UGPOM
