Done. I used the already existing directory. Because the git jail and the node jail have the same OS and compiler version the output should be the same.

Done and moved to the node jail. Because i've chosed dynlib=0 the executables in the Build dirctories should work without libs installation. Do they? I haven't tested yet ...one moment please...

They do. ;-)

Done. I wasn't surprised that i didn't see any output and that build command was completed immediately. But when i adjusted the path to the fidoconfig and built again there was no output too. I'm surprised. Isn't the default config path compiled into the executables? Ah, no. I found the documentation for the environment variable FIDOCONFIG.

Interesting. My fresh git jail with husky is ~250MB smaller than my proposed node jail. Looks like i should reset the node jail to get rid of unnecessary stuff. Thanks a lot for your help! We reached another little milestone on my todo list.

For today one last question only. I read the progit book last year and can do the basics like add, commit and status to my local .git. I noticed all git clones of husky do have the actual time stamp but not the dates as visible as on github.com. Is this normal or did i miss a configuration setting?

Regards
