this is how SVN repositories work: trunk/ is roughly equivalent to CVS HEAD branch; the branches/ and tags/ directories are used to store specific branches and to tag a specific version. since the web site for gtk+ (and for GNOME, for that matter) are stored in SVN and regenerated via cron jobs, that explains the presence of those two directories. > * I don't know too much how web technologies work but I expected that > if I open trunk/index.html I should see a page similar to that found > in www.gtk.org, but in svn's html, there's no left-hand table and no > pictures for example. the script that regenerates the site includes the various common sections of the site (top, bottom and side bars) using comments in the HTML file. consider it a poor man's PHP, if you want. :-) > * I see www.gtk.org (dated Dec 2006) hasn't been updated to latest svn > (dated Jan 2007). yeah, it's known; when GNOME migrated from CVS to SVN the scripts weren't updated. we can also drop the cron job and use the commit hook script that SVN provides, now. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
