RE: Anthill Build regardless Question

Thanks Eric,

Yes I would like for you to point me in the right direction when you
have the time thank you very much.
By the way...i was under the impression that I could modify the way
anthillos works by modifying=20
The pagelets under /conf/profiles/Unix/unix_subversion ...guess theres
more to it than I thought.
I originally wanted anthillOS to do an update instead of a checkout if
there was an existing repository because my svn repository is almost
half a gig...so every time I build it takes over 2 hours to complete
because it always checks out a fresh copy of the repository.
My solution was to checkout the build folder and use svnant commands
within my build script...and now I have this problem.

Anyway your help would be greatly appreciated=20
Thanks,
Josh

Fair question. I just realized that the how to get the source is a bit
hard to find.

That page is here:
http://www.anthillpro.com/html/products/anthillos/for-developers.html

I can dig in to the code and point you in the right direction later this
afternoon if you'd like (I've got to run to a meeting right now).
