As a developer you need main library, incubator library and both test directories. So you can't just check out a single directory there. And the last time I checked, manual was kept in uncompiled form, so if you're intrested in the docs you end up using online manual anyway. As a framework user you probably don't need the SVN at all. You stick to the snapshots published on the web page and you're probably not intrested in manual sources. And that happens after you have actually read the introducing manual, right? And what's even more important, doc commits clutter framework-svn list. It's hard to follow important code changes when these are drowned in multilanguage spam (as in totaly irrelevant information from a developers standpoint). We are nearing third thousand commit (3000!). And how many commits pertain to the doc changes? Let me guess. 70? 80 percent? Come on. Not to mention the problem Simon has already came up with. The most important question is - what's the svn really for? To help the developers develop and secure the code or to make the deployment process easier? Honestly. How hard is to create additional svn repository and svn tracking list for the docs? This way it should be easier for everybody. Doc translators won't be bugged with code and will be able to focus on what's most important to them; and developers will have easier time keeping up with the code changes. I vote for keeping the docs in LINKED external svn. So anyone who wants to get the manual in fact can get it painlessly. Be it deployment or any other need. > Or you can set up your own svn server and declare whatever > set of subdirectories you want, treating them each as externals. Please tell me you're kidding :) You're getting our code, ideas and our time spent on the framework for free. And you don't want to make it easier for everyone helping you? In order to make the deployment process untroublesome? Come on. That really leaves an unpleasant impression in my head. Eh. I'm sorry for sounding a bit harsh. But please try to understand. > Bill Karwin -- Martel
