It does. We're currently pulling r1402 from their repo. Concerns about stability should be pretty ok, as long as we use an external that has been checked out for safety, and only update to later ones once they've been checked as well. > > But I do worry it's less robust (what if the other projects' SVN server moves, > drops offline, etc?) and it has performance issues -- my svn up's take a lot > longer with the externals since it's contacting multiple servers. > Yeah :\ There's two externals on trunk/extensions right now, and they do slow down checkout/update a bit. I like the ease of use that having the externals provides, but it is a bottleneck. Isn't there a way to do a svn update without externals (I know you can checkout without them)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
