Mid-sized commercial repo of scientific software, C/Python/Ruby bin/ # repo-level scripts config/ # repo-level configuration pkg/<pkg1> # a standalone autoconf package pkg/<pkg2> # : : common/ # shared code, packages symlink here bottom level scripts install packages locally "in the right order", others create standalone .tar.gz packages (resolving symlinks) for installation elsewhere. All works rather smoothly I think, but it is medium sized, I could well see problems arising if it were 5-10 times the size (but we don't expect it to do that)
