With Axiom, we only use the math library, so I think we only need to include the source for that library (which is a small library). Of course this don't help with the ODE problem/size.<br><br><b><i>dan miller <danbmil99@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> this looks like exactly the right approach. Keep in mind that ODE is 40<br>megabyes, so we're talking about 80 megs right there (40 for the vendor<br>drop, 40 more for trunk).<br><br>Take Axiom. It uncompresses to almost _400_ megabytes! Granted most of<br>that is some demo game with assets, but that's what they have in their<br>source drop. It doesn't seem feasible for everyone to have two copies of<br>that in their trunk directories! At this rate, with over 20 3rd party libs,<br>svn checkouts will soon be several gigabytes. <br><br>I think the answer is to use the vendor drop concept, but in a
separate<br>project, opensim-libs. We can simplify the procedure in the case where we<br>don't patch anything, by just using the vendor's drop directly. If we need<br>to patch, we do as the article says and create a separate, patched version,<br>and merge whenever we need to absorb a new vendor release.<br><br>The final step after building everything would be to create a .zip file with<br>just the DLL's necessary to run opensim (a couple megabyes). Casual users<br>would just download the proper zip file and be ready to get on with their<br>lives.<br><br>-danx0r<br><br><br>--- Stefan Andersson <stefan@tribalmedia.se> wrote:<br><br>> I think we should use 'vendor branches' <br>> http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s05.html<br>> <br>> I've already done a prototype .build that first builds a target consisting<br>> of the native dlls, then the main opensim build.<br>> <br>> Such a target can be very specific and hand-crafted; on vs we'd just
