[stp-dev] SVN Structure

[Adrian Mos <adrian.mos@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

This is to follow-up on our previous threads on the new SVN structure  
proposed by Andrea and generally well-received by the STP community.  
We had agreed that the new structure with trunk/branch/tags for each  
individual project is the way to go and I think Oisin raised some  
concern about the Ganymede M4 release and the timing for this change.

I am much in favour of not duplicating any work and I think that the  
sooner we move to the new structure, the better, in order to avoid  
changes later on. This is particularly relevant for our upcoming  
commit of plugins to the STP-IM repository where everything has been  
thought of with the new structure in mind. So my question is, can we  
go ahead now with the new structure or must we go with the old  
structure and change it at a later date? Suppose we go with the new  
structure on a project-by-project basis, would this impact the build  
system and if so, how much? If there's some tweaking to be done for  
the projects following the new structure, I would rather do that than  
change our code structure to be in line with the old layout (and then  
change it again later :) ).

Oisin, what is your take on this? Is this doable or would it entail  
too many complications on the STP/Ganymede release plan?

Thanks,
Adrian.
