Could the SVN client filter out binaries at new version check-in ? Then we could replace that check-in command with a script which uploads the binaries to the download site (part of the web) and optionally generates a textfile with url to the file. That url-list will be then checked in (now with diff) to SVN.
The web-application then can keep archive as wanted (e.g. 5 versions back from each person). It can visually show newest images first (with information about age of that image, the person who made it, stability information (devel/testing/stable) and optionally list of svn patches applied since previous post). The standardized location of binaries will enable an auto-update feature in future, where the customer can select its preferred stability level and the preferred developer (which kind-a correspond with the branch where the image is oriented at - e.g. one likes to hack 3D, other one video decoding and so on). Anyway, if auto-update is not wanted, it will simplify package building. Daniel Timothy Normand Miller wrote: > You can check binaries into SVN.
