Yes. ;) > + are these binaries 'generic' ? ie. did you build them > on an old enough distribution, with a clean enough config > that they are usable on things other than > Debian/Ubuntu-latest ? :-) They are generic only in the sense that I didnt do a --with-system-foo, but other than that, they have been compile on Ubuntu 11.10, so might not work on older stuff. I was driven by the "Now is better than never." line from the Zen of Python for this decision. ;) > Either way - it seems pretty cool to me.

There were quite a few of tweaks and turns in the beginning (you want to get this stuff halfway right, when you are churning away 24 cores nonstop for 3 days on your own electricity bill), but in the end it should integrate well with the tinderboxes. However, I assume this will not work quite as well incrementally as the binary repo was ~4GB before I purged and repacked it with: git purge && git repack -ad --window 2000 --depth 55 --funroll-loops --abuse-my-ram --yes-all-of-it Which: - takes quite a bit of time - packs everything in one pack, which sucks for incremental downloads So, it is a proof-of-concept prototype, but unless somebody finds out I packed the same version 53 times or something like that, it should be a good starting point.
