[Scons-users] Repositories and rstr/rfile

[Tom Tanner (BLOOMBERG/ LONDON)]

Someone has decided that it'd be a good thing to have a file in a repository (i.e. scons -Y <repo>) which gets copied unchanged into the build directory at the same location. Thus he has code of the general form:

Import('*')

for f in Glob('some.config.*'):
Depends('test.pcv', Command(f, f.rfile(), Copy('$TARGET', '$SOURCE')))

Except this doesn't work, because the 2nd time you do a build, f and f.rfile() are now the same thing. As far as I can tell this is only related to repositories.

Choices seem to be:
1) use os.path.join(path-to-repo, f) instead of f.rfile() or f.abspath or f.prettymuchanything()
2) Tell him to do something different, like not use the same names. This sort of breaks down as he claims something similar works if he's not using a repository.
3) I'm missing some easy way of finding out the actual source of an item in a repository

Thanks
