Description James Andrewartha 2009-05-19 17:03:01 UTC 
When running multiple prefixes, it'd be useful to be able to include a common jhbuildrc for common settings like dvcs_mirror_dir, tarballdir, makeargs etc.
Comment 1 Frederic Peters 2009-05-19 17:23:51 UTC 
jhbuildrc is Python code, so you could create jhbuild_common_settings.py, and from jhbuild_common_settings.py import *.

Would it be enough for you?
Comment 2 David Adam 2009-05-20 02:25:01 UTC 
That doesn't work because there's a bunch of default variables that don't get passed along with the import statement (like the module_autogenargs dictionary).

Using execfile('/path/to/include') instead works fine.
