A special subversion repository has been setup with the purpose of providing aliases to the eXo main projects repository. The main advantage is to that you checkout a subset of the main projects repository and avoid you to download the whole codebase with all versions. Aliasing is based on the svn:externals mechanism.
to make a checkout. If you want to use it with the exobuild you need to perform
Existing aliases
Head
The head alias aliases the trunk of all products. Usesvn co http://svn.exoplatform.org/aliases/head
cd $EXO_BASE_DIRECTORY svn co http://svn.exoplatform.org/aliases/head eXoProjects
Advantage
You get what you need and nothing more. After you have checked out an alias, you can perform the usual operations on it and update it, the only thing you cannot do is a global commit, please refer to the drawback section to know more about that.Drawback
The only minor drawback is that you cannot perform an SVN commit of an alias. For instance let's suppose you modify the portlet container and portal project and you want to commit both of them at the same time. It's not possible you need to commit each of them separately.
