Yes -- we do it in ZF as we pull in Dojo via svn:externals. We use "svn propget" to find where the svn:externals point, and then use "svn info" on that externals URL to determine what the current revision is. When we build the tag, we then create a new svn:externals definition for the new tag that pins to that specific revision. I'll find the relevant code from our build scripts and paste it in here if you need specifics. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney mweierophin...@gmail.com http://weierophinney.net/matthew/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
