hmm, i'm trying (not so) hard to remove the ./abstractions folder in favour of a grand unified ./externals folder...
That will take a lot of political organizing, as we saw before. In
the mean time, I don't see much harm in having /pure-data/svn-externals
in some other projects i noticed "packages" which are modules
containing both the local code plus dependencies (the latter handled solely via svn:externals)
Using svn:externals for dependencies means that using --ignore- externals would then break. Do you have an example of such a project?
I am currently using OpenEmbedded a lot for the Reware ARM disk
images. OpenEmbedded tracks hundreds of external projects. It uses
git, which has nothing like svn:externals. Instead, the build
system, bitbake, which handles downloading the source code to
package. If we really want to make a distributed build system, then
someone should build it from bitbake or some other proven tool, not
kludge it with svn:externals.

I like that as it would solve my immdiate problem of people
finding out of date s-abstractions in the pd repo and not require me to do
periodic imports. Let's hope people don't get confused between "externals" and "externals".at least i keep getting confused when talking about them :-) that's why i always use svn:externals...

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess
himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
