    <title>Extending Repository Layout</title>

    <para>

        Occasionly, you may find that new components of &TCPCVI; need

        to be added to the repository in order to work them out. If

        that is the case, the first question we need to ask ourselves,

        before starting to create directories blindly all over, is:

        <emphasis>What is the right place to store it?</emphasis>

    </para>

    <para>

        When the repository structure is extended, it is very useful

        to bear in mind &TCPCVIS;, &TC;; and &TCDRS;.  The rest is a

        matter of choosing appropriate names.  It is also worth to

        know that each directory in the repository responds to one or

        more concepts that justify its existence.

        To build a directory structure inside the repository, you need

        to define the concept behind it first and later create the

        directory, remembering that there are locations inside the

        repository that define concepts you probably would prefer to

        reuse.  For example, the 

        class="directory">trunk/Identity/Images/Themes</filename>

        directory stores artistic motifs of different themes, the

        class="directory">trunk/Identity/Models/Themes</filename>

        directory stores design models for themes, the 

        class="directory">trunk/Manuals</filename> directory stores

        documentation, the 

        class="directory">trunk/L10n</filename> stores translation

        messages, and the 

        class="directory">trunk/Scripts</filename> stores automation

        scripts.
