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
