Simple export

by Maurits van Rees last modified Dec 11, 2009 12:50 PM
The simplest way to import your product is by making a clean svn export.

Your company repository lives on a server and your product can be found at http://spacely.space/svn/plockets. One option is to simply make a subversion export of your product, and importing it in the collective:

svn export --ignore-externals http://spacely.space/svn/plockets plockets
svn import plockets https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/plockets

One major downside when using a simple export is that you lose all subversion history information. If you are the only developer who worked on plockets or there are not so many files and revisions, this may not matter. But the history can give important information about why a change was made, especially in the revision log.

The good thing about an export is of course that it is by far the simplest method. Two simple commands and you are ready. And this is something that you can do without help from the administrators at plone.org.

If the history of your product is important, then you have the option of making a dump of the part of the subversion repository that has your plockets product in it.
