Nested Trees

[Martin Guillon]

Ok but I don't really like that. Being the man in charge of that sort of thing I prefer to have only one installer for the dev. Otherwise they will keep coming to see me with questions like "why doesn't it work?" ;)

Anyway  knowing that we  are currently thinking about how we can do what we want without externals.

Thanks

On Windows, it's the rather long-winded

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\bazaar\2.0\plugins

I've thought a couple of times that it might be really useful to allow BZR_PLUGINS_PATH to contain semicolons (on Windows) or colons (on
Linux) separating multiple paths.  A user could then have a user plugin path (in ~/.bazaar/plugins), a company plugins path (somewhere on a network drive) and an installation plugins path (in the Bazaar installation directory).  Things like bzr-externals that may be fundamental to a lot of company projects could then be installed (and
maintained) on the network drive copy.

Just a thought anyway.
