[clbuild-devel] ediware link seems to be not updating

[Rohan Nicholls]

Looking at this more closely, I see that the whole ediware repository
is actually a series of externals. Which is obviously why the
developers set up the darcs repository as they did.

Basically what would be needed, and I think was running until recently
was a checkout of the whole ediware tree, and then suck the various
separate projects into their own darcs repositories, which makes them
to be accessed autonomously.  I have not looked at the script at the
clbuild url, but I have a feeling that is exactly what it does.  So
for ediware to work with clbuild the way it is, we need a system like
that in place.

A workaround would be to checkout the whole ediware tree, and then
create the needed symlinks into <clbuild-dir>/source/ add the projects
to the ones clbuild is aware of (as I do for stumpwm), and you would
be away to the races.  Something I think I will try out.

It is disappointing that a simple url change would not work, but makes
the work that loliveira has put into this all the more
impressive. Thanks, for that. :)
