Caching git-repos #348

Closed sv1990 closed 6 years ago

sv1990 commented 6 years ago

It would be nice if yaourt would optionally save *-git packages somewhere other than /tmp so that it could run git pull rather than git clone. This would speedup download times especially for larger projects and also the build times since the unchanged object files could also be reused. Of course the same could be done for other version control systems.

I've beeing looking for an option like this one for a couple of days and I just arrived at this issue. So, it seems that it doesn't exist yet. It would be awesome to have something like this.

I spend a lot more time downloading the source code than compiling it (besides, today I found ccache that helps on compiling time).

Set DEVELSRCDIR in yaourtrc and git repos will be reused.

@harmathy Thanks! That looks exactly like what I was searching for.
