GNOME SVN and jhbuild

If you're wondering how to move your GNOME jhbuild from CVS now that the SVN migration has happened ... here's what I had to do.

  • Checkout jhbuild from SVN:

      $> mkdir -p /gnome/head/svn && cd /gnome/head/svn
  $> svn co svn+ssh://markmc@svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild/trunk jhbuild
  $> make install

  • Update ~/.jhbuildrc so that e.g.

      repos['svn.gnome.org'] = 'svn+ssh://markmc@svn.gnome.org/svn/'
  checkoutdir = '/gnome/head/svn'

  • Copy /gnome/head/cvs/pkgs to /gnome/head/svn/pkgs so that you won't have to download as many new tarballs

  • Run jhbuild build

Note, this is with the gnome-2.18 moduleset. Things are still a little in flux right now.
