Even though repackaging jam/binutils/gcc should be rare, the current process is extremely time consuming. First, we have to wait for the repo to be synced to GitHub, and then haikuporter then needs to clone the git repo (or download a tarball in the case of binutils currently). In the case of jam, my hack to the jam recipe was to create a buildtools.path containing path to my local git repo of buildtools in the jam folder, then add an additional URI at the top: git+file://`cat buildtools.path || true`/.git#hash-goes-here This reduced my repackaging efforts to a minute or two, rather than potentially hours. Does anyone have any issue with adding this (or similar proposal?) to the recipe(s)? I suppose I should also update the git ignore file to include buildtools.path (or perhaps just *.path, if we'd like to utilise for other recipes where this could be useful). Thoughts? Jessica
