Hi,
I have limited disk space (80Meg). I have 386BSD installed on it, with
the all the sources. The sources are compressed, so when I want to make I
have to uncompress all the relevent files :-(. The same applies for patching.
Is there any source maintenance program that will let me compile a
program without having to uncompress all the files first?
ie. something that will uncompress each file as it is required, then
compress it again when it is finished with it? Space is tight.
Thanks.
Colin.
