This might be one benefit to subversion. "tags" and "branches" in subversion are not special case items, as they are in CVS, but full-fledged repositories in their own right. Assuming buildtool could talk to a subversion repository, it would be a simple matter of specifying the appropriate base repository in a config file somewhere and any desired version (with applicable patches/updates, if it's been maintained) can be built. The difference would be simply (using the somewhat standard CVS-like repository layout): Latest Version: <base-URL>/trunk Previous release version with updates: <base-URL>/branches/v1.2.3 Previous release snapshot: <base-URL>/tags/v1.x.y ...also, since branches and tags are "free" (zero-copy) in subversion, they don't suffer from the performance penalties encountered with CVS, meaning it's faster/easier to create them as well as easier to use them, so they're more likely to be properly taken advantage of. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEW3RWLywbqEHdNFwRAp85AKCo4C8FwJLNz/43aY/DgeaQz9lVPwCfS6T0 n8ztyvK2IEpIkRb8eSlTH4U= =vOkC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
