4.2 Check Out a Multi-Project Tree
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
