Question

I have a library of common functions that I use in several different projects, which works fine on my local machine where I can just add the path to the library, but now that I’ve put several of my projects on GoogleCode, I’m not sure how to deal with the external library. Do I put copies of it in each project and try to keep them all synchronized with each other, or is there a better way?

Answer 1

I use subversion for source control and svn:externals to manage libraries. Since you’re using Mercurial, you might have a look at using subrepositories.

Subrepositories is a feature that
allows you to treat a collection of
repositories as a group. This will
allow you to clone, commit to, push,
and pull projects and their associated
libraries as a group.

Good luck!
