Hi,
I suppose I am not the only one who has more ooo-build branches on his
machine. So far, when you were using --with-git, each of them created its
own src/clone (clone of the up-stream sources), and the initial cloning took
ages.
Not any more :-) If you have eg. /local/master with an
existing /local/master/src/clone, you can configure
with --with-git=/local/master/src/clone later in eg. /local/ooo-build-3-2,
and ooo-build-3-2 will share the clone - its src/clone will be simply a link
to /local/master/src/clone.
When unpacking and copying to place, the trees are [should be ;-)] locked, so
all should be safe even when you start 2 builds concurrently - but beware,
this works only in master and ooo-build-3-2. In case of problems, patches
appreciated ;-)
HTH,
Kendy
