Also, is any sort of offline support in the works? --no-init helps in this regard, but you still need to phone home for every build, which is bad for those of us with slow network connections, and worse when the network goes out. I don't want this nearly as badly as I want to use distributed revision control, though.
Adding an offline mode to osc build shouldn't be a problem. It just needs a commandline switch, and a way to store the last retrieved buildinfo and buildconfig in order to use it again. If someone has an idea how to implement this, it would be very welcome.
No, it doesn't sound hard, although I haven't had a chance to give it a go yet.
We'd need to determine whether --no-init should imply such an offline mode. I think it shouldn't, because --no-init is IMO mainly used to shorten build times, not to work in offline mode.
I think that --no-init and (a hypothetical) --offline are orthogonal. In practice I imagine they'd frequently be used in conjunction, but that's no reason to conflate them. Having said that, once --offline exists, it might be worthwile to add another flag, maybe "--fast" or something, that does combine them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
