Our software products use different components, where many base components are used in different products. It is not necessary that all developpers compile these componentens themselves, that is, these components are distributed binary (as object files or libraries). To make the distribution of binaries easier, some developers started to include also object files and libraries of the common base components in the subversion repository.
I know that subversion was not invented for that purpose, but from our experience it seems that it actually works. My questions: What kind of problems could occur if too many binaries are in the subversion archive? How good does subversion make diffs of object code? What better options for sharing versions of object fils are available? Helmut -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!
