Re: [pde-build-dev] Map formats

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

@CVSTag@ looks like a token that will
be replaced before using the map file in pde.build.

If no repository is specified at the
beginning of the line, CVS is assumed (since originally CVS was the only
supported repo)
The key=value format was new in 3.3.
 If it is not used, then yes the order matters.  The actual order
itself depends on the repository and is defined by the extension that provides
support for that repo.
See the 3.2 docs for the cvs format
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tasks/pde_fetch_phase.htm.

The repositories are contributed by
extension point and pde.build itself only provides CVS, GET and COPY.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.build/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/build/fetch/

The only other one I am aware of is
a plugin on sourceforge that provides SVN.

To fetch from a branch in cvs, just
tag that branch beforehand.  CVS fetch is all based on the tag.

Subject	Re: [pde-build-dev] Map formats

Thanks Kim. That explains a lot. I have some follow
up questions:

This is an entry from a releng map file:
plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=@CVSTag@,:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/technology,,org.eclipse.ecf/plugins/org.eclipse.ecf

How do I interpret @CVSTag@ ? Is that something that should be replaced
with the tag used when reading the map file?

None of the entries have the "CVS" keyword, nor do they prefix
the 
arguments with "tag=", "cvsroot=", etc. Is CVS the
always the default 
and is the order of the comma separated list significant for the CVS 
type? If so, is it correct to assume that it is always:

tag
cvsroot
???
path

What is the third argument?
Are there any other known types besides "CVS" and "GET"
(one that comes 
to mind is "SVN")?
How would I map a specific branch in CVS?

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
