I finally found the /win32 folder that was mentioned, and proceede to do an svn co, so as to be able to upload shenle's binaries.
Problem is, even though there's only one folder in svn under win32, namely /trunk/win32/bin, the checkout decided to put a
data folder under it, /trunk/win32/data, and now it is painfully filling it with textures and whatnot. How is this possible?
Thought I'd ask before I kill the process.

Re: win32 svn folder blues
That /win32/data is in fact an external; I'm not sure exactly how the svn repository is organized, but I strongly suspect that it in fact just copies over the main /data directory.
Yeah. Known about that forever - ever since /win32 was created.
Don't worry. It's only 2.4GB of data.

Re: win32 svn folder blues
Perhaps someone added "data" in an svn:externals on /win32?

Re: win32 svn folder blues
I think it's because the binary expects to find its data in ../data, not ../../data.

Re: win32 svn folder blues
win32 runs data as an external. Just tell svn to ommit externals and it will only pull the win32 directory w/o grabbing data as well. For the most part the win32 folder needs an update. Most of the dlls are seriously outdated and once a stable build is up using vc9 vc7 or cmake its going to get a makeover anyway. Most of the dlls included in win32 are no longer required by VS or you have 3 different versions from current (.5) down to long long ago.

Re: win32 svn folder blues
Yeah, it took me by surprise; I though svn was haunted. Then figured out to just kill it and svn up from the bin folder.
That's a leg trap.

Re: win32 svn folder blues
My guess is that whoever set it up did it that way so windows users would only have to download from win32 whenever the binary was updated to have a complete play package in one folder instead of doing both win32 and data seperately.

Re: win32 svn folder blues
you are correct sir, and i set it up that way
you can blame the entire organization of the binary repos on me, in fact, i pretty much re-organized the entire trunk from 0.5.0 on. I intended it to be easily packaged under the old way since everyone was crying when i removed the bins from /data so _everyone_ didn't have to download win32 bins and such.
win32 users ought to be pulling from win32, mac users, from mac (or whatever it's called)... guess that was never really made clear.
down the road when we start actually packaging things in a sane manner, we can remove the external references.
