We are putting together (at my employment) a VM for Delphi. The initial plan was to package the tools, but keep the source code on the host drive, and map to it. I wonder whether anyone has done that? Our experience right now is limited, but the build outside a VM takes 21 seconds, and inside takes 129. My best guess is the mapped drive access, but that's purely a guess.

Any thoughts?

Bill Meyer Risky experiments are what branches in Hg and Git are for. No need to spin-up new VMs, and trash them if your experiments don't work out.
ReplyDeleteIMO, branching is one of the most powerful features of modern SCC.
Bill Meyer For source experiments, VCS branches are enough, but for OS or IDE-level stuff (when working on components, upgrading IDE BPLs, applying hotfixes service packs etc.) VM backups are nice :)
ReplyDeleteEric Grange Yes, I certainly see a role for each type.
