PDF-ing FM files under SVN

[FeiMin_Lorente at amis.com]

Hi Bodvar:

Actually, I do save my PDFs in the repository because that's part of our 
configuration management. Since the PDF files are part of the deliverable 
product, they get the same tag as the software files so that if we need to 
re-create a deliverable, we can retrieve them from the tag.

Also, having the PDFs available to others via the repository helps them 
view the documents because not everyone has FrameMaker. And they can get 
the version that they want.

PDF-ing FM files under SVN






I don't seem to find any list committed to working with FM under SVN
or TortoiseSVN, so I will try and put the problem up here.

I am testing SVN. My IT has set up a dedicated SVN server and also
they set up a local SVN Working Copy and I am starting a real test.

What I am wondering about is what would be the best procedure when
printing to file and PDF-ing. These, and some other files, IMO, don't
have any business being uploaded to the repository. Do you try to
print/save those files to a place outside the SVN library or just try
not to upload them by accident?
