With it, you update sources only one time by build the directory instead of the same step and one more by module. The next step would be to check into the sources repo if it is needed to run an update so we'll can increase more the performance, but it is an other topic. > > > > > (If merging makes it easier to work on I have no objection, but I > > would like to see it simplified before it gets into a release...) > > > > > Agreed.
