[cdt-dev] Re: [ptp-dev] Remote capabilities
|
Cross posting to cdt-dev...
The problem I have with EFS for this type of solution is that it serves up
the files to the local system, and nothing else. I have not looked at EFS
in detail, but I'm guessing (perhaps naively) that just to do a dependency
calculation you'd have to serve every file over the wire in order to do a
timestamp check because I don't think it discriminates about what info
about the file it sends over the wire. It's much more network efficient to
have an agent running on the remote server that is in charge of the build
logic. Then again this might be all up to the implementation of the EFS
interfaces to handle.

Subject Re: [ptp-dev] Remote capabilities
:
I am always seeing EFS as the easiest way to enable CDT with a remote
project, and my patch to CDT as a prototype has demonstrated this.
However, since this approach is different from the available ways that
has been undertaken by the participating companies of CDT, they does not
seem to favor this measure.
However, although the remote build function has been talked about for a
long time by the CDT people, I have not seen any code contributions in
this area. Again, it seems to be a decision we should make - should we
contribute a full solution to CDT or keep waiting ...
Cheers,
Tianchao
