Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Launching PPRZ under Ubuntu 10.10

[Felix Ruess]

Hi Gareth,

it would certainly be _possible_ to "vendor" some of these deps into
the source. If we do that it would probably make sense to add these as
git submodules (basically a checkout of an external repo in a subdir)
and maintain the libs in extra repos on github.

I'm not sure how much we would gain/loose by adding these as source.
But others are more qualified to answer this. Gautier, Eric, Antoine
what is your take on this?

Cheers, Felix
