Anyway, if we reverse the order, then if I understand everything correctly we would have the robo commits to advance the fpcbuild submodule link in the fpc/ repo ? No thanks!
Actually, I would think the relation between fpc src and build can be described as n to 1
- For any commit in fpc-src there is one fpc build commit that works (others may, but one that should be used) - For any commit in fpc-build there are many commits in fpc-source that it can be used with/for.
But because the submodule in the current direction, allows to specify only one fpc-source commit as belonging to the fpc-build commit, you artificially keep creating commits, so you can link to all the other fpc-source commits.
And if you reverse the dependency, that should disappear. You only need the submodule update, when it is technically required.
If the dependency order is swapped, and you commit to fpc source and it keeps building with the same fpc-build, then there is on submodule update needed.
