I meant "build-specific files in common to a project team", e.g patch files. Perhaps I could write a mod to scripts/apply_patch_series.sh to access missing patch files mentioned in the series file from the "/opt" repository - or do an http-get if appropriate. If there was a hierarchy to the files mentioned in the series file: 1. Check patches directory itself; if not found there ... 2. Check source repository (us. "/opt/..."); if not found there ... 3. Check (and download from) http repository, e.g kernel.org This would also allow you to locally override project patches. MikeW -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
