[DRE-maint] Thoughts about switching to svn-buildpackage layout 2

[Vincent Fourmond]

  Hello,

  What do you think about switching to svn-buildpackage layout 2 ?
Currently, the SVN repository structure is this:

  packages/
    -> nice-package/
       -> trunk/
       -> tags
    -> nice-package-2/
       -> trunk/
       -> tags

  This makes it painful and not very convenient to have a full checkout
of the packages. The layout 2 (as used by the Games and Java teams) is
the following:

  packages/
    -> trunk/
      -> nice-package/
      -> nice-package-2/
    -> tags/
      -> nice-package/
      -> nice-package-2/

  This way, having a full checkout could even be fun ;-)... Of course,
that involves quite a bit of tweaking:

  * moving the directories
  * changing the control/VCS fields
  * changing the svn-bp:tagsUrl property for all packages
  * all users of the SVN should svn switch their checkouts.

  All but the last should be relatively easy to script on a full
checkout. If the team agrees, I would do it.

  Cheers,

	Vincent
