- checkout main in-portal folder from svn://source.in-portal.org/in-portal/branches/5.2.xinstead instead of checking out profile-name from svn://source.in-portal.org/profiles/profile-name/branches/5.2.x we
- run "
/tools/configure_profile.sh profile-name", which will set needed "svn:externals" property - run "
svn update" once to checkout modules/themes that were added
The same script, that currently handles "svn:externals" property generation for profiles needs to be updated to generate the "configure_profile.sh" file.
More benefits
Since now we checkout main in-portal repository, then it becomes possible to use Phabricator's tool called Arcanist: https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/arcanist/ which is basically a CLI tool for http://qa.in-portal.org/ website to simplify code contribution.
