Yeah, also note a couple typos in there that turned 'phpdoc'
checkouts
into 'phd'.
Diffs attached.
This diff brings up a good point for us to discuss. What is the
preferred method to check something out from SVN? Most anything we do
requires at least two SVN checkouts.
A classic example for English:
- cd /where/doc/stuff/is/stored
- svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/en/trunk phpdoc/en
- svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/doc-base/trunk phpdoc/
doc-base
Leaving us with en and doc-base directories. And then for phpdoc-all
it gets trickier, well, a lot longer. The choices seem to be either:
- use svn:externals
- create and promote scripts for this
- change our structure/layout
- ... ?
I don't understand the pros and cons of using svn:externals but the
topic seems to have a holy war type feel to it. Is this true and/or
avoidable? What are the pros and cons? If a script is used, I imagine
it'd be stored in doc-base then used to checkout languages. I also
imagine other places at php.net would use it (or svn:externals).
