How does that help? Either every machine on the network spends time |
| 11 |
compiling when it should be earning its keep, or they all pass all the |
| 12 |
load to a compiler system that has to recompile the same code over and |
| 13 |
over for each computer on the network. Using that computer to build |
| 14 |
binary packages that the others can install is so much more efficient. |
