any standard method to fetch a port's sources from svn (or cvs,

[Luigi Rizzo]

as the subject says, i was wondering if there is any standard method
to fetch the sources for a port from a Subversion (or CVS or other
scm) repository.

Right now i am doing it with the following sequence
(the use of update vs checkout is because originally i
fetched into distfiles, not ${WRKSRC}, and later copied
the source to WRKSRC)

REMOTE_REPO= http://svn.foo.bar/svn/xyz
REPO_CMD= \
if [ -f xyz ] ; then \
svn update ${REMOTE_REPO} . ; else \
svn checkout ${REMOTE_REPO} . ; fi

do-fetch:
${MKDIR} -p ${WRKSRC}
(cd ${WRKSRC}; ${REPO_CMD} )

but there might be better ways, and perhaps if this is a common
pattern it may be worth having generic support for it ?

cheers
luigi

It is recommended not to do this. Some of our users are behind
firewalls and cannot fetch except via HTTP and FTP. Instead, you need
to create your own tarball of the sources checked out from the VCS,
possibly using a "helper" makefile target that fetches from VCS and
creates the tarball for republication by you on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL.

Ok i understand the restriction, but for what matters, SVN and maybe
other source management systems (git ?) run on top of http and work
fine through a proxy.

There is an example in ports/www/tidy-devel/Makefile.
