The solution for that is a build system script to pull tarballs of the web, not keeping full copies (in some cases not associated with any upstream URL or revision -- for oauth) in the VCS, IMO. I can understand that it made sense to bundle things while Couch was still getting started, but it should be moving to using released upstream versions. On Gentoo (where I maintain the ebuild) we definitely also frown on bundled packages. Cheers, Dirkjan
