Internals and non intuitive commit (and perhaps meta-meta-problems)? Are you satisfied with the use of externals overall?
Very. I wouldn't propose it otherwise.
One disadvantage of externals, which you might not have run into yet, is that they become invalid when you rename a project. For example you have: dataclasses http://code.icecube.wisc.edu/svn/projects/dataclasses/releases/B01-12-00 Say if the dataclasses project gets renamed to dbclasses you would have to go find all the externals and change them to the new name: dataclasses http://code.icecube.wisc.edu/svn/projects/dbclasses/releases/B01-12-00 And you would also have to consider for each one whether to rename the subdir name: dbclasses http://code.icecube.wisc.edu/svn/projects/dbclasses/releases/B01-12-00 So either you've never renamed projects in your set up, or you have broken releases ;-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
