Hi IngridvdM,

The Hg archive should simply replicate the current structure at OOo,

Another good argument to separate l10n from trunk was given in an
earlier thread: This way it is easier for developers to get only
what they will need usually and spare the extra time and space.

I think this is a good argument and I wonder whether we shouldn't be
prepared to identify more such stuff - for example the binfilter.

The problem with binfilter is that it depends on modules not in
binfilter, changing them incompatibly may entail changes necessary to
binfilter, those changes should be in one changeset, which I think is
not possible when not in trunk, insights anyone?


well binfilter is maybe not the best example because in the long term we
should think about the elimination of binfilter completely. Announcing the
end of life of these filters, then allow the import only for some time and
the next step is to drop it ...

Ok agreed, binfilter is not the best example.
But what about the general idea to have a second directory where we can place all the stuff that is not needed to build the main office (so not needed in the usual day to day work of a code developer), but anyhow belongs to the product and to each codeline/release. Maybe templates or some extensions could qualify for this stuff. Maybe we have nothing right now but my point is, if we identify such things later I do not want to clutter the directory structure with more and more directories next to trunk.

I think even that it would be more natural to have those main office components and the extras components both within trunk. That should also ease the creation of release branches.
So another suggestion for the directory setup:

ooo/trunk/main
  with all the other main office modules
  ooo/trunk/main/sw (writer)
  ooo/trunk/main/sc (calc)
  ooo/trunk/main/sd (draw)
  ooo/trunk/main/chart2 (chart)
  ...
ooo/trunk/extras
  with l10n and maybe more stuff later
  ooo/trunk/extras/l10n

ooo/tags/...
ooo/branches/...
  this could look like this for example
  ooo/branches/R3_4/main
  ooo/branches/R3_4/extras
  ooo/branches/R3_4_1/main
  ooo/branches/R3_4_1/extras

ooo/site/...

Kind regards,
Ingrid
