Thomas, |

Live has to expand to the date when the sources were fetched, otherwise |
44 |
its not 'live' by definition. |
45 |
As an illustration, I install KDE 4.2 on my 25MHz 486DX with 64Mb RAM. |
46 |
During the time it takes to build, 'live' is likely to have changed |
47 |
several times. |
48 |
|
49 |
How do you handle prefetching of sources, or do you forbid |
50 |
prefetching ? |
51 |
Live infers you fetch the sources at the time you need to build them |
52 |
and do the live expansion at that time. Without that you don't know how |
53 |
old your live version is. |
54 |
|
55 |
live can change several times a day. With only one day resolution, how |
56 |
do you handle that? |
