I''ve noticed that most plugins are available from SVN repositories.
I''m
using SVN to manage my project code. I have been using the -x option
because it allowed me to easily get the latest changes to the plugins.
But, when I went to another computer, and attempted to checkout my project
from another computer, it failed when grabbing one of the plugins.
Aparently, a plugin vendor changed their repository url. So, I''m
wondering
whether it is better to install plugins using the SVN -x (external) option,
or to checkout the plugin directly? I''d like to know how others
are/have
delt with this issue.

Re: Best Practices for using SVN with Plugins
Hi, Larry It all depends on how stable the plugin is, and how much you trust the author to maintain backwards compatibility. Personally, I only install with the -x option when I''m installing my plugins from my svn server.

Personally I never use this because a rails upgrade might (and has) broken plugin functionality. It''s better to upgrade manually with another checkout.

For anything I use in my application, I keep my own svn copy of the plugin (and even rails). Then I can upgrade when I have/want to, but I always know that I have working code that I tested. Those plugins are installed in the app using an external setting of svn. So I have one trusted source, and when needed I just update my repository with the latest plugin. This has an additional advantage of letting me tag versions with the matching plugin. So that if I have a future version using a newer rails and a newer set of plugins, I can easilly go back to a previous version, knowing that every tag is stable. Bye, Guy.

Rick: seems nice :-) Would be better if it had a ''piston rollback'' also ;-) Thanks!
