In the next 3 weeks I'll be on vacations back in Portugal. I'm afraid that 
I'll slow down a little since I'll spend most of my time with my friends 
and family (especially my girlfriend, who would strangle me to death if 
she caught me playing around with the computer on vacations! :-) This also 
means that I won't have permanent internet connection, and that I'll 
answer to emails just on the economic period (which is more or less at the 
same time that the IRC meetings have been).

I'll leave my workstation here at the university running but I just 
recently knew that there will be some remodeling on our office during my 
absence, which probably means that the workstation will be down from 25th 
Mar until my return on 7th Apr...

Until then I hope to get the SourceForge compiler farm to make the 
snapshots instead. I've been reading about how to do that, and it's more 
or less straightforward. In principle I could just transfer my scripts and 
crontab it would be done, but unfortunately the SourceForge imposes some 
quota limits: 512MB hard quota, 256 soft quota.

The compiled trunk takes 522 MB on my machine. For start, this means that 
I can't leave the build trees or even the source trees there - this poses 
no problem because the build tree is always almost completely rebuilt 
anyway, and the source tree should be really fast to get from CVS since 
it's in SourceForge CVS servers as well. Spite of that, I don't have space 
for a single build. One way to overcome this problem is to remove the '-g' 
debug info compiler option by applying systematically a patch to the 
source tree. This will surely reduce significantly the size of the build 
tree, and if we don't include '-s' strip linker option, we should still 
get a meaningful backtrace due to the COFF source line information, isn't 
it? Does anybody have any alternative idea?

Regards,

Jos� Fonseca
