Description Alexander Kanavin 2015-08-13 13:05:56 UTC
So that automatic upstream version check for svn sources can be performed, same as for git.
Comment 1 Alexander Kanavin 2017-11-07 14:07:58 UTC
Now that all subversion SRC_URIs have been eliminated from oe-core, this is perhaps not particularly pressing.
Comment 2 Armin Kuster 2019-12-22 19:02:20 UTC
Is this something we still want to add?
Comment 3 Alexander Kanavin 2019-12-22 19:08:05 UTC
I'd say no. Oe-core has been svn-free for a long time, and there's only a handful of ancient recipes in meta-oe using svn.

Subversion has few if any users in the YP community. If someone wants to work in this, please do so.
