I know, but I wouldn't expect SVN to query other servers than svn.python.org inside the standard repository directories. AFAIK, this is a first in the Python repository. Not sure if it's such a good idea. Branching and tagging doesn't work with external resources in Subversion, so things can become inconsistent. Also, what if you break the code in the berlios repo or the server is not reachable ? A release copy in the external/ dir would solve all these issues. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 12 2006) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
