We like to think that common sense prevails around here, but occasionally we'll break the trunk. A recent example is when I thought it would be slam-dunk to support wxPython 2.7. I initially made all my changes to the trunk but lo and behold it broke wxPython 2.6. So I reverted my trunk changes, made a branch, and only merged back to the trunk when wxPython 2.6 was fully supported again. I think subversion will scale well into dozens of active developers, but if we ever get beyond that we may need something more distributed. Years off, most likely... -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
