> Creating SVN Mirror Repository Using SVK

> This is an alternative to, and hopefully easier than, "vendor branch" method

> not include trunk/branches for simplicity.
>
> 1. Install SVK.
> 2. Create a local SVN (or SVK) repository in your PC/LAN using regular svn
> command.
> 3. Tell SVK about this repository. SVK calls it depot.
>
> svk depotmap
>
> An editor will pop-up (which can be changed using $EDITOR environment
> variable). Edit it to point to your repository and save.
>
> 4. Create a mirror of
http://svn.ofbiz.org/svn/ofbiz/trunk in your local
> PC/LAN. We will call it uplink.
>
> svk mirror
http://svn.ofbiz.org/svn/ofbiz/trunk //uplink
>
> svk sync //uplink
>
> sync operation takes about 3 hours on my system and must be restarted
> several times in order to complete.
>
> DANGER: Make sure //uplink is never used with any SVN command or it will
> corrupt the mirror capability. You may make a backup of this by using
>
> svk copy //uplink //uplinkbackup
>
> 5. Create a working repository for SVN users (it uses the same copy command)
>
> svk copy //uplink //local
>
> //local is now the SVN local repository.
>
> Usage
> 1. Checkout using SVN (not SVK) from //local
> 2. Make changes as usual
> 3. Use regular svn client commands (e.g. commit, update) for code management
> which now talk to //local repository
> 4. To download updates from OFBiz
>
> svk sync //uplink
>
> 5. To merge changes to local repository
>
> svk smerge //uplink //local
>
> 6. To update working copies, use svn update command.
