ccache

[Anders Qvist]

This is a heads up that all the Xenofarm machines at lysator will soon
start using ccache

http://ccache.samba.org/

in order to make the best use of the build machines. This has been
tested and should work out well, but you never know. If strange things
start to show up in the next day, you know who to blame.

This is in preparation for getting python 2.2 into the farm, which
should happen during the weekend.

Interesting concept. I hope it works. We do often compile the same C
source with different preprocessor symbols defined.

That would be really good. (Does this mean that there's some action
on the PyTie front?)

It apparently does, as far as the tests are concerned; no new red dots
appeared after its introduction.

There is now a stable export and it seems to work, but I haven't added
it on the farm machines yet, because I'm going away for three days and
don't want to leave the builers unattended with a new build. The first
stable build run should occur on thursday evening (GMT), or as soon
after that the machines get around to it.

Hope this isn't to late for anyone.

I'm going to use this time to think about how to test modules with the
newly built interpreters, which is the next big thing.

I am leaving Wednesday for 11 days business in the USA. If you happen
to need anything from the PBF in that time, mail Alex Martelli.
