question regarding 0.8 branch

moole · Post by **moole** » December 22nd, 2003, 3:16 am

if I want to get the sources from the 0.8 branch, can I take the sources from the trunk and checkout the sources from the 0.8 branch, but only from the "browser" and "toolkit" folders?

It could be more sure to grab a blank new tree, using FIREBIRD_0_8_BRANCH tag.

Yes, I know that, but I'm on dialup (single channel ISDN).

The MIME type workaround and XPInstall updates made changes outside the Firebird folders so I think you'll need more than those two folders.

He has to grab a new branch source. It is long, but if he wants to build a 0.8 branch, there is no other possibility.

And uploading my nearly 30 Mb 0.8 tree source is not possible for now.

Yes, you can grab the trunk tarball and build on top of it with cvs.

Just checkout client.mk from the branch, then checkout and build. I'd recommend a "clean" before building:

Code: Select all

cvs co -r FIREBIRD_0_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk checkout clean build

cvs will download only some 3-4 MB.
If you do a cvs status on any of the files after checkout, they show the "FIREBIRD_0_8_BRANCH" sticky tag.
