Thanks

Just to let you know, I managed to do this using svn externals. I’m a clearcase user normally, new to Subversion.

http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Hakre/define_SVN_externals

I defined a property at the project level directory,

svn:externals
wordpress http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/2.8.4

then an svn update pulls wordpress into my repository.

I setup Subclipse yesterday, a bit tricky getting it to work with svn+ssh, (works with password, but not liking keys ) this is working fine using TortoiseSVN. I’ll keep trying with that.

I’ve a setup question for you, and perhaps it’ll be helpful to you to:

You copied wordpress into the Eclipse project. I was hoping to be able to make use of the wordpress subversion repository, rather than copying all the wordpress files into my own svn repository. At the moment, I have to export wordpress from the SVN rep and copy the files into the project, then I have to make sure these files are ignored when I am doing a commit for my own project.

What I have just now is:

Eclipse Project created, into which I checked out my own SVN repository:

C:/eclipse/workspace/website

at this level I have the wp-config.php and index.php files, and a wp-content directory for the site. The wp-config.php file has been modified to change the location of the Wordpress Content as follows:


/**
* Change the location of the wordpress content directory.
*/
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://localwebsite/wp-content');


Then for wordpress relocation, I have modified the index.php file


/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');


So I end up with

C:/eclipse/workspace/website/wp-content
C:/eclipse/workspace/website/index.php
C:/eclipse/workspace/website/wp-config.php
C:/eclipse/workspace/website/wordpress

This isn’t ideal, as it’ll ask me to add this to my svn repository. What would be better is for Eclipse to allow me to have a dependency on a wordpress project.

I will most likely try and relocate wordpress so that it’s outwith my svn repository.

Perhaps I should be writing some sort of build script that exports the wordpress repository as required, then when I want a new version I can modify the build script and rebuild the project.

Thanks for the pointers. The VirtualHost entries didn’t work for me until I changed the directory line:

After that, it was fine.. Now I’m off to try and get subversion working within Eclipse
