Hello,
I am currently facing a problem with Subversion's best usage with my
co-workers. We are working on various projects, i.e. we have more than 20
Subversion repositories. And of course we are using third-party APIs and
tools.
According to the documentation, there is the vendor branch development
scheme. I have some concern about putting the APIs and third-party tools as
such because:
1. The third-party APIs and tools uploaded are binary.
2. They are not intended to be modified but used off-the-shelf.
3. Binaries make the repository grow like Hell
4. Different projects (repositories) may use the same third-party APIs and
tools and duplication makes my teeth screech.
Therefore I had the following idea: to setup a "third-party" repostory
where we would drop the third-party binaries and sources as vendor branch
to keep track of the versions (using tags) and refer to it from the various
projects using svn:externals.
Does that sound correct to you? Any other suggestion?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Fabien.
