I had a look to the code and, you are right, it does use the network. Maybe it shouldn't and we could add a separate update-. Or maybe we should suggest to use the "make shell" approach for this. Not quite sure...

Now, I want :: a) To apply these patches via "git am" in "~/sugar-build/source/sugar" (over sugar-0.97.7). b) Have them build up, so that the code takes its effective place (in "~/sugar-build/install"). c) What I don't want, is fetching new code remotely. I want this, so that the base remains the same as sugar-0.97.7. So, basically everything, but not fetching any new code from remote locations. Even if you could tell me for now, a solution that "just works", that will be fine to me :) </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> <div><div><div> On Thursday, 11 October 2012, Ajay Garg wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Ping :) If there is no such capability (yet), even then please let know.
