I'd really like to some experiences from open devs trying to use this method. Essentially, it means maintaining your own version of the autobuild configuration file (either in autobuild.xml, being careful not to include those changes in any changeset meant to be merged to viewer-development, or by using a copy and pointing to the copy either with a --config-file option to autobuild or with the AUTOBUILD_CONFIG_FILE environment variable). Even if you build your own prebuilds, you probably won't need to do it very often - check them all out once, build each one, construct the packages portion of the autobuild.xml file and then copy it into any working copy you've got for doing viewer work. The only time you should need to rebuild any of them is when a package is modified either by you or from upstream. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
