  1. ccache by ryants · · Score: 4, Interesting
    A similar idea that I've been playing around with and seems to work is to use ccache and put the cache on a network drive.

    That way, if someone has already built the file you're about to build, it's just a copy. Even better is if you have a continous build script caching results ahead of time for you.

    It has worked pretty well for me so far.
