distcc source through GNU Arch

People can do the work, so machines have time to think.

If you just want to use distcc, please download a distcc source release and use that.

GNU Arch

Development takes place in GNU Arch (also known as tla), which is an advanced distributed revision-control system. If you want to help with development or see whether a bug has been fixed in the unreleased version, you can obtain development source using Arch.

You should have at least version 1.2 of the tla client installed. If you need to use a proxy to access the web, you should set this variable if it's not already set:

$ export http_proxy=http://proxy.company.com:80/

First register my archive:

$ tla register-archive -f http://sourcefrog.net/arch/mbp@sourcefrog.net--2004

Then fetch the current development tree:

$ tla get mbp@sourcefrog.net--2004/distcc--devel--2 devel

This will give you a directory devel, containing the development head source. To build in this directory:

$ cd devel && sh ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

To update it with later changes, cd into that directory and run:

$ tla update
