<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We need to talk about the vendors directory</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My take on it: only use svn:externals
when you want to be up to the last minute with the dependency trunk (or
a stable branch), or possibly modify the dependency locally and have a
somewhat less pain-in-the-butt merge scenario (with three-way diff) when
it changes in SVN.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Not the case with either Redcloth or
FileSandbox. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The best way to package redcloth is
include redcloth.rb in lib, Why (RedCloth's author) wrote it somewhere,
if memory serves.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As for FileSandbox, it just broke the
build, and having svn:externals pointing to trunks of libraries will cause
that to happen every once in a while.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Suggestion: keep local copies of both
libraries in our own SVN, upgrade by hand, only when needed.</font>
