building IDP v2.3.8 ....

[Steven Carmody]

Hi,

We're interested in looking at the src for current stable IDP release. 
We're following the directions on this page:

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/SourceAccess

However, I'm having some trouble pulling src from svn. If I type

svn co https://svn.shibboleth.net/java-opensaml2-main/branches/REL_2 
java-opensaml2-main

it pulls a lot of files, but stops with:

>  U java-opensaml2-main/java-xmltooling
> svn: Invalid svn:externals property on 'java-opensaml2-main/java-xmltooling': target involves '.' or '..' or is an absolute path

pulling the main IDP src also gives a similar error.

Is the problem that these svn commands are pulling the development files 
(potential 2.4 release), and NOT the files for the stable 2.3.8 release ?
