That is ugly. Separating the data means people will have to do two checkouts to get all the stuff, and we cannot use simple "make install" to install everything and "make dist" to build packages. (Yes, I know this does not work yet. I will fix this after the png conversion.) I think getting an easy installation procedure on Linux is essential for getting more developers interested. It tells people that the project is mature and well-functioning. > Otherwise, I can see us eating up LOTS of HD space, and I am not sure > at all what the limit is. Subversion branch copies are cheap. The server does not hold multiple copies of identical files - it is way smarter than that. - Per _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@lists.berlios.de http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/warzone-dev
