[Buildroot] Local SVN respository

[john <john.osullivan@cloudiumsystems.com>]

Hi Arnout,

Thank you for your help, in answer to your questions,
The package is already in buildroot, at the moment I have the same
version number and I have created it under the same name. It is selected
in the config and when I do make with debug (-p) on I get:

svn: Syntax error in revision argument '1.0.1'

my svn command is
MYPACKAGE_SITE=svn://myserver/mydir/trunk/mysoftware-1.0.1/

but based on the error message it looks like the svn checkout is failing
because the version number is being based a revision (I'm guessing). Is
there some way of to suppress that action.

regards
