Hi guys, |

I'm just curious about something. I've noticed many people report |
4 |
problems with their repository syncing simply because someone was in |
5 |
the middle of committing to the repository. Couldn't this be resolved |
6 |
by replacing the syncing mechanism with *svn* as opposed to rsync? |
7 |
After all, it does have atomic transactions, and you cannot get a |
8 |
partially updated repository when you use it. |

If this was to be done, I would suggest making tags every day, such as |
11 |
YYYY-MM-DD. Then any other tags could also be made on milestones such |
12 |
as 2006.0 for that release. |
13 |
|
14 |
One other benefit of this mechanism, that I can think of, would be |
15 |
that I could easily roll back to my last sync date or release, if some |
16 |
of the updated ebuilds caused me problems. |

Any thoughts? |
