> * build.conf > (libsvn_subr): Build LZ4 library sources. Why do we have an embedded copy of the source code? That's not our usual policy with 3rd party libraries and the LZ4 library is available on Linux systems: $ pkg-config lz4 --libs -llz4 If the reason for embedding is simply to avoid an external dependency then I think that is wrong -- we should not accumuate 3rd party code in our code base. I suppose there could be an argument to embed the LZ4 code if the compressed form is not stable from one release to another. Is that the case? If so then how stable is the current format? -- Philip
