4.2 Check Out a Multi-Project Tree

(prev) (next)

The get command checks out a single arch project which, as the previous section illustrates, may be less than a complete tree.

Complete trees are often comprised of multiple project trees which are combined into a single tree by an arch configuration.

Upstream maintainers create config-files: instructions for building a multi-project tree from sources controlled by arch.

Typically (but not always) the config files are themselves controlled by arch, as illustrated by this example which builds a complete (multi-project) arch source tree:

   % tla get lord@emf.net--2005/rel--tla--1.3.1  tla-dist
   % cd tla-dist
   % tla buildcfg ./config

Suggestion: Examine the files ./config and ./config.template in the tla-dist directory to see some example config files.

Commands Discussed

    % tla buildcfg -H
