RE: [Ltib] Help with ltib and source tree

[Bizhan Gholikhamseh (bgholikh)]

Hi Stuart,
Here is what I am hoping to establish, to use ltib for configuring
different kernel version for different platform type.
The source code for ramdisk will have a common section (packages) for
all platforms and specific packages to each platform. Using ltib, I can
create a source tree by this command: ltib -p <package name> -m <prep>
from a package spec. However, at this time I would like to create the
source tree by checking out the files from a subversion source tree.
This I am not sure how to do?

Any hint greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Bizhan
