Re: Upgrading third-party libraries on external repositories

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the link. I had not noticed that chapter...

I think my scenario is slightly different. We have many projects being
developed at the same time. For security and maintenance reasons, each
project is in a separate repository and we use external dependencies
every time it is necessary. We also keep the third-party libraries in
separate repositories so that they can be shared by more than one of our
projects.

Most of the third-party libraries we use are in binary form (libs,
dlls). To avoid versioning problems I want to make sure that each
revision is an exact snapshot of the library release.

Thanks,
Antao
