'trunk' problem (or maybe not - I dunno) #875

Closed twillis449 closed 7 years ago

twillis449 commented 7 years ago

It looks like there are obscure references to 'trunk' in a few places in the current code. I have a suspicion that may be the reason I seem to need 'trunk' in the path to meqtrees executables. Isn't trunk a left-over reference to 'svn' or something?

[twillis-HP-EliteBook-8570w 1:46pm] [meqtrees-timba]> tgrep trunk . ./autoconf_share/cvs2cl.pl: # Special case for following trunk revisions ./autoconf_share/cvs2cl.pl: if (($branch =~ /^trunk$/i) and ($revision =~ /^[0-9]+.[0-9]+$/)) ./autoconf_share/cvs2cl.pl: # by the tag in parentheses (so trunk or otherwise non-tagged ./autoconf_share/cvs2cl.pl: * To follow trunk revisions, use "-F trunk" ("-F TRUNK" also works). ./autoconf_share/cvs2cl.pl: branch "trunk", right? Right. ./PyApps/src/Contrib/init.py: print " $ cd ~; svn co svn://lofar9.astron.nl/var/svn/repos/trunk/Waterhole" ./Tools/Build/dailybuild.sh:export SVN_REPOSITORY="file:///var/svn/repos/trunk/Timba"

It is a leftover from svn, but all these references are from old build scripts which have been retired (as well as a largely meaningless print statement). So none of these should be causing your problem. I'm surprised you need "trunk" in path, we certainly don't -- could you elaborate please?

Somewhere deep deep in my system there is something that wants 'trunk' in the path in order to start the meqserver. I'll continue to hunt. For the moment I got things to work by just adding a 'trunk' softlink into the system. Anyway, It sounds like its my problem and not yours so I'll close this issue.
