Well, with git this works. (I'll yet have to run some automatic stress tests, but at all my manual tests worked really fine). *If* this might not work somewhere, the little generator script could create the tarball only once (on first request) and use it all the time. Or add some commit/push hook, etc, etc. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
