[galaxy-dev] Project structure

Hi all I'd be interested to hear comments/advice on how to best deploy Galaxy locally with the following requirements: 1) Need to keep it in sync with central source repository. Or are there "stable releases" I should be using? I'm just updating from the svn tree. 2) Need to add own tools, data formats, tests etc. I have currently created my own repository which mirrors the galaxy structure. I then link to these files from the Galaxy folders. Tedious. Even just descriptions of your own setups (and problems) would help. thanks in advance!
