Hello, I've not written to a mailing list before so tell me if I have done anything wrong.
For a project I am working on we will be rebuilding a lot of programs, so we are using ccache for that, however the idea is that a lot of people may be building the same thing, so we want to make the ccache objects publically available, especially since we could be building on machines that have better IO speeds than CPU speeds. To this end we are considering adding the ability to look up the objects on an http server. I have spent half a day looking at the source code and planning what to do, but you know more about ccache than I do, so I was wondering if anyone else had tried this kind of thing before, or if there is some fundamental problem with the approach that I haven't considered. The the plan is that after the hash has been calculated it checks whether the object is cached locally, if it hasn't it tries the http server specified by an environment variable. If the server has the object then ccache downloads the object and uses that. If it hasn't it carries on and compiles it. _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list ccache@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
