Gav / David,

Where does cli.xconf go for a site outside the forrest tree? I have it in {project_root}/src/documentation/conf/cli.xconf. The uncommented area for checksums reads like this:

  <checksums-uri>build/tmp/checksums</checksums-uri>

I changed it from build/work because I don't have one (yet). Forrestbot isn't behaving for me, but that's another message... I don't see checksums in build/tmp. Do I need to "touch checksums" there for it to be found? This site is being generated by Forrest v0.7, does that make a difference?

Thanks!
-Paul

Nothing else needs doing, this works fine.

I did a 'forrest site' to an unchanged site and it took 3:55

I then enabled the checksums and did 'forrest site' again
it took over 4 minutes - during this time I guess the checksums
are at work.

I then did a 'forrest site' again and it took 2:50 and correctly
skipped all files.

This should be enabled by default for a 'forrest site' I'd have thought ?

Anyway, will play with Forrestbot and see if it takes advantage of this.
