Sorry, I do not agree. If you are novice, you are NOT supposed to use the bleeding edge code in the repository anyway. And if you are unable to follow the instructions for checking out the code, are you sure you will be able to build it? > We could also create a trunk that externally references 3rdParty libs (if > they are in svn) such as ReplicantBody, Cal3D, dem, etc, but that will > probably be too overwelming for some. Really bad idea - most of these projects do not use SVN but CVS or sometimes only snapshots are available. Not to mention that the CVS code for 3rd party libs is by far not the most stable and you usually do not want/need it. Moreover, who is going to maintain it? You will get only a bunch of errors, making things even worse whenever some 3rd party developer changes their repository structure. Moreover, Linux developers get many of these libs on their systems by default, I definitely do not want to check out many megabytes of stuff just to get two libraries I need.
