?? Copying to tmpfs is copying to memory, and copying to memory in /some/ form must occur in ordered to operate on the files at all, that is, with any build at all, so I don't see the problem, at least if you're working on a machine with say 2+ gigs RAM. (There might be problems on a half-gig RAM machine, but that's not particularly appropriate as a developer machine in any case, these days, unless you're talking embedded, which you didn't mention.) But of course, gentoo/portage lets you do it your way too, as demonstrated by the hacks you posted. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
