That sounds pretty good, except for the judgement involved in guessing how long to wait between cvsups. But it should save some grief, especially with a slow build computer. Can anyone guess the minutes per day when the cvs is in a bad state so that a probablity of this being needed could be guessed at? (I'm planning to write a build-SOP PR with this idea for the Handbook, with a note stating why some might not want to bother with it.) > Of course, I don't do this every night, or even every week--that > might be a bit abusive to the mirror. Maybe one of the many people who do this very frequently could comment on how much data they download on average, compared to, say, once per RELEASE. I've seen no evidence as to whether it's abuse or not. (I been cvsup'ing only about every two months.) > ...(I've heard rumblings about Perforce)... My dictionary says "perforce" means "willy-nilly".
