Topic: vscache files
Vassil Peytchev (Jan 12 2017 at 22:12):
I was wondering what the purpose is of the vscache files which are tracked by SVN. If those are values cached during the build, why are they tracked?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 13 2017 at 08:57):
the are tracked in svn after being cached to
1. allow me (or others) to remove things from the cache (the freshness algorithm is not always perfect becauseof underlying version changes)
2. it keeps the load on my server down (I pay for that directly)
3. allow people to run the build for their first time in 20min instead of several hours

Thanks Grahame! I was asking, because I get occasionally updates to some of them after a local build, and wanted to make sure I don't have to worry about them.
Grahame Grieve (Jan 13 2017 at 17:35):
yes you can ignore them, or commit them; I maintain them actively
