But nobody has yet responded to the vital question of whether there are resources to support a parallel tree to trunk, in addition to sandbox, for what we are calling 'candidate' libraries.
I think I did a while ago. The sandbox used to be organised as a parallel tree to the main tree (in CVS). It ended up a complete mess. If someone's willing to actively maintain it, then that might be averted, but experience suggests that they won't.
But using separate repositories is a much better organisation anyway, it means that your history doesn't get all messed up as it does in trunk.
Ok - but are there resources to provide those repositories? (disk space may be cheap, but the backup and up/ download traffic costs?) Or is each developer supposed to provide his own??? And what about testing? Is each developing group responsible for testing its own stuff, against latest release (and/or trunk?), or some 'test farm' as for trunk? Paul --- Paul A.
