The best for me, (and it is what i use at work) is to use my git-store command to manage the package repository. With this you have the profit of versioning the packages and group the packages by version/architecture using branches without needed to retrieve all the binaries. I have "transform" your git repository https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/packages/ci/master/tree/ to a "git-store repository": https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/packages-store/ci/master/tree/ so you can see the difference between the two. use git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/leaf/packages-store leaf-packages-store and you will retrieve the tree without the binaries. Now with the git-store command you can retrieve any packages you want using the transport protocol that was used to clone the repository. See the Readme.txt file for information (https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/packages-store/ci/master/tree/Readme.txt) Regards, Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
