Hi All, IMHO, the svn:external scheme is far more complex than copying tags ("svn copy" is a very cheap operation in subversion). I won't argue on which is best, they both achieve the same goal. But is this goal (having a way to checkout the latest devel/stable release) of any use to somebody else

Hi Paul, Now that I think about it, perhaps making self-referential svn:externals isn't such a great idea, hmmm :) You mean an svn:externals that points to some other directory in your repository? No, that's fine. It's the way the SVN book advises to replace the "modules" functionality. You

Hi Robert, I'm not talking about a symbolique link. It's just a another copy, just plain subversion copy : svn copy -m"tagging 2.7.2" http://.../trunk http://.../tags/osg-2.7.2 svn copy -m"updating developer release" http://.../tags/osg-2.7.2 http://.../tags/osg-latest-dev-release and then tagg

Hi Mathieu, What you are asking for is symbolic link to the latest tags rather than an actual tag. I don't know if svn is capable of doing something like this. Perhaps the webserver could do some url direction.. I have no clue on this stuff so I'll leave it to svn server and web server experts
