No argument there. But if faster builds require that we can't support per-directory rebuilds, this proposal means that (some) existing (C/C++, at least) workflows can be salvaged. Why overload the concept of "build" when you can specify exactly what you want to have happen? I'm not claiming this helps make things faster in any way. -Nathan _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
