- 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.
