Well what i meant with disconnecting was that when a machine is removed from
the network all the plugins, etc. should still be available on that machine.
Anyway just to make sure i understand you right, do you suggest that i
should have a workgroup directory set up on each machine from which they
connect locally and have a master workgroup on svn from which to check
out/update into the local workgroups?
That sounds like it would work in so far as i understand the whole workgroup
concept. I just want to avoid troubles updating machines (users can update
locally when xsi is off so it avoids dll/so in use conflicts) and network
performance going south (which it avoids by running on each machine
locally). Hmmm sounds like a plan unless there is some issue i'm not aware
of?
Thank you,
Fabian

Since you planned on putting user installations on version control, why not
put workgroups under it and copy it onto those workstations?
You can disconnect from a workgroup, but you can't for a user installation.

Hello,
a general question about the users directory on linux/windows, are ALL
settings stored in there? ie. when i copy it from machine A to B will
all plugins, shaders, addons etc be carried over aswell? If not what
extra work needs to be done?
I'm doing some planning for a small pipeline here and dont think
workgroups will work since laptops for example need to be removable
from the network with everything staying intact when visiting a
customer. So i was thinking about putting the users directory under
version control (svn) and checking a copy out on the various machines
and using a cron job to keep things up do date automatically. Is this
workable or are there better ways of keeping machines synced without
workgroups?
The reason for version control over something like rsync is simply
being able to quickly go back when things go wrong and it allows users
to have their own keyboard layouts and all of that locally and have it
ignore certain files easily like recent files. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Fabian
