With the one above, and one each from Anders and James, I now have three good suggestions with two alternative new approaches to look into. However this may all be moot unless the new approaches save considerable time and effort down the road. I'm not sure they would so I'm not going to pursue them at this time. My original purpose was to avoid cloning from git for each test build. I'm using download and compile.sh to create builds for several sets of option combinations. Do this for more than one version and you end up with more than enough complete copies of git to satisfy an army of coders. This wastes bandwidth on gitorious. I'm thinking that one local git for each version (next, master, maint & 2.10.0 ) is simple enough. Its four copies of git but that's not too bad... I can make change to the script to allow concurrent separate builds with different options off these separate gits without too much change. The single git method could come later if anyone thinks it's worth doing. -Pat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
