I guess you need many FPC branches because you develop it, but you should not need them all built at the same time. I don't see why you would need many Lazarus versions built at the same time. I would say keep the branches in a local git repo, then checkout the one you need and build it. At least with lazarus it works perfectly. I may have experimets and new development in their own branches, I can jump between them and build the one I need. A fast machine builds them so quickly that I don't need to care about it. I can update the latest changes from SVN repo anytime and a minimum amount of network traffic is needed. I think you know the concept. SVN is good for a global server but maintaining local branches with it is a big pain. I don't know the details of your FPC installation. It may be more complicated. http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_git-svn Juha -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
