It does if you have a separate stable tree per-arch. With the current |
| 9 |
tree design, it's too easy to break an arch that you've no intention |
| 10 |
of affecting. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
However, if you have a separate tree per-arch, that tree can be tested |
| 13 |
and approved for release as a single unit. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
From a SCM point of view, arches are a subset of the full Gentoo |
| 16 |
tree. They would fit very well into a branching model - and |
| 17 |
Subversion's support for branching would make it a breeze for us to |
| 18 |
support without overloading the arch teams. |

Better to fix the design of the repository, so that it can't be broken |
| 24 |
in the first place, than to try putting band-aids in place to cover |
| 25 |
the gaps. |

I'd be interested to see some stats from our CVS logs to back that up. |
