Hi, please, keep cool .....
The reason for checkout rather than export is to track and obtain changes in your big files from subversion to your jenkins server but only when they've effectively changed not each time you run the build as you will incurr with export. But, it seems you won't hear that. by the way, don't worry for the quality of my build server: it works just perfect with the appropriate use of svn ;-) regards didier On Feb 23, 1:53 pm, "Asmann, Roland" <roland.asm...@adesso.at> wrote: > Since we already use the clean checkout option, I don't see where the > performance can be gained. > > As for tracing changes, I don't care about those on a build-server!
