Yes. please. svn:externals should always pin to a specific revision (or at least to a "frozen" tag). Updating to a new revision then is just a propedit away (to change the revision number); ditto for backing off to an older revision if the newer one has problems. As to the rest, you're using externals in a vanilla way for their intended purpose, and I have no problems with that. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
