I'm curious, where do you all keep your distributable package files
(.tar.gz, .gem, etc)? Do you keep them in your project directory, under
dist/ or pkg/ or something? If you use subversion where do you keep
them?

I've been flirting with a "subversive" layout myself:

myproj/
branches/
packages/
tags/
truck/

But I've never seen anyone elses laundry about, so I'm wondering...

Thanks,
T.

They are generated files, and so some folks don't see the
need to put them under version control. Just tagging the
repository is enough for them. I'm still on the fence on
this one because having the packages laying around is sure
convenient.

Browse around RubyForge's SCM tabs.
