By far the 'portsnap' has a lag from svn. I think firefox-18.0,1 update was late at 4 days at the least, for instance. Thus I'd like to move to svn for base and ports. The only problem for me personally with svn is: its multiple '.svn' directoriees all over the repo. This is what I get checkouting every possible svn repository on the web. I've heard about 'bdb' kind of storage on the contrast from 'fsfs' which is what I complain about, the my '.svn's trouble source. So I'd like to know how could I checkout the sources without those '.svn' freakages. Just couldn't ixquick it out. The only possible way I know by the moment is: svn dump | svn restore kind of from the checked out repo to the newly created 'bdb' one. But I even have no idea if it can be updated from the same source again. And, 'bdb' svn backend is known of its lack of reliability. Should I treat it seriously in such a case, e. g., the repositories are a kind of large? Any clues? Thank you. -- Peter Vereshagin (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: 1754B9C1
