Running from my machine or directly with hook, whenever a new branch is created syncing fullblender takes a day or two. Having this hosted on a different machine than mine at home is always a good thing to look into.

As per my proposal, I wouldn't move svn.blender.org to DVCS, but keep it like that, and have people use blender.git who want to use Git (and with a local solution like svn+git, git-svn or any other bridge users even don't need a publicly maintained, official(-ish) mirror). /Nathan - -- Nathan Letwory Letwory Interactive | Studio Lumikuu http://www.letworyinteractive.com | http://www.lumikuu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJN303iAAoJEKtfN7KsE0TtQ3kIALD0z+XJ53MQDVzIbxcs8ENj O4zWrkxJgLAg3uIhiaL6qk0/JAAu/taSmkpRejbHoebt2z9L69Uibclzwiuk6bBm slwgYokJPdGma5XCRlxsKQqwvbEJR5D3gvMVpnWBzg6KYi8CTkSjtPikU8+XMjLx 17f+KwJJNOKynQTo2PWlsfX4G6PEdI7VPMB3CfLeZvHRaapfnhsrTNftLYybJPPU l3Ill8qJ63EK7LQ2ep/NKrIZ5PfwdXAuIIUGts9tGwwyHrPSXx6VO4aWuMGouTlK yMWziURbOGp98x3QvLVwpFFAQdXGIamDe14qdzlG39I5DtjyyLo9yfoO4SsgheU= =sdhQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
