Well, I use snapshot views for all of my day to day building, nightly builds and whatnot. It's faster to populate a snapshot and build from it than it is to build from a dynamic view. I use the dynamic views for merging between streams, where I really want the power of ClearCase. The real secret is that you can have both a dynamic view and a snapshot view both using the same stream. We've changed source code control systems several times, and still occaisonally use a different one, so I'd much rather use GNU make, which is agnostic to the source code control system being used (that's my on-topic blurb). -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
