It's a fairly common desire - the important part is not to let it get out of hand. You can manage "good enough" with a minimum of effort. When you try to find an ideal solution (specifically, one where everything is always up to date and no data is duplicated), it becomes horribly complex - I'm actually more or less convinced that the problem is intractable, or at least requires radical new developments in our understanding of software. Hence - keep it *simple*, even if it's less than perfect. Solve the one problem of building packages from the svn tree, and stop there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
