One would do ‘make SVNROOT=file:///home/foobsd SVNBRANCH=stable/7′ with those changes to build a release of FooBSD 7.x.

As I noted in the conclusion, SVK isn’t the only way to do this. One possible advantage of the SVK approach is that if you are already familiar with SVN, then this approach allows you to use a tool you are already familiar with for most of your day-to-day tasks.

Isn’t this what Mercurial or Git supposed to do very well ?

thanks

So for example:

# svn co file://home/foobsd/stable/7 /some/path
# make release EXTSRCDIR=/some/path

AFAIK make release needs a CVSROOT environment. Maybe CVSROOT=/foobsd/stable/7?
