Big x86 binaries in CVS repository?
Apr 24th, 2006, 1:31pm  
Hi!
  I thought I'd fish the processing source out to install it for a friend who wants to try learning it, but as soon as I started svn up, it went downloading a 2-megabyte x86 binary *and* its .svn/ equivalent, specifically processing/build/linux/dist/jikes and .../.svn/jikes.
  Since I'm on a 56k modem in Spain for the next few weeks at a grand 3 kb per second, that kinda sucks (ahhh, you forget what it's like...).
  Just thought I should report this as it seems to be a mistake.

not a mistake, we need a particular version of jikes to build and run the beast, as well as the version that's exported for use with the application itself. same goes for those big java VMs in there. it's a side effect of having the environment be a one-click download/install type of thing.

Then is there logic in splitting it up into two or more SVN modules?  Having the core source, ide, and distribution as separate things?  I personally find myself generally just looking at the core source, none of the ide or that.  Plus if one is using Eclipse for writing processing apps, you could download the Processing core as a SVN project and have your other projects link to it.

I've done some work with doing projects with Eclipse+SVN like this so I know at the very least it works pretty smoothly... I should have some time after graduation to help out, too, if needed.

you can get the core by checking out processing/core instead of the whole thing.

ide/dist are part of the same beast. as long as i'm the only one who actually works on the source, it's not priority for me to address moving things around. when we do the eclipse transition we'll try to keep this in mind and make it easier where possible.
