4.1 Check Out a Project
Having registered the appropriate archives, you can check out project from them. The command:
% tla get lord@emf.net--2005/tla--devo--1.3.2 tla
creates a directory named tla
containing a source tree checked
out from the project archive.
By way of pointing out some "arch vocabulary":
% tla get lord@emf.net--2005/tla--devo--1.3.2 tla ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | "archive name" "category"| | | | | | "branch" | | \_____ _____/ | | v | | | "version"| category+branch | = "package" "project tree" directory name
Note 1: This operation doesn't get you a complete (buildable) tree
for tla
. It happens to check out just the core code in tla
.
The next section describes how to checkout a complete tree.
Note 2: The first time you perform this operation for a given project arch will spend a lot of time populating your revision library. Subsequent operations on the same project are likely to be much faster.
