No. What I had hoped to do was maintain a single build box, on which I could maintain the presence of several releases. I had explored trying to mirror various FTP archives, but I was finding difficult to gauge what I needed for diskspace, and how to selectively pare out what parts I didn't want or need. There doesn't seem to be a canonical description of how that gets laid out, WRT symlinks and whatnot... I found that it was easy enough to keep a mirror of the source tree, as I can extract whatever flavor of source I want. I had a fantasy that that would give me the stepping stone I needed. But, it seems not to be. Oh, well. It was only an experiment. :/ I _wish_ vmware would behave for me... > It it works, great, but it's not a project goal. Noted.
