Brill Pappin commented on CONTINUUM-549:
----------------------------------------

I originally agreed with the comments from Jamie Flournoy, Henri Yandell, 
Trygve Laugstol but after using it for a while I have changed my mind. The 
reason is that there are many things that can cause a build to fail including 
dependency issues, build order, environment (e.g. systems bounces the cvs 
server) etc. and in those cases you *do not* want to change the code in the 
module thats failing because its dependency is failing.

I've run into all of those mentioned in the last few weeks and it's a bit of a 
pain to have to go and "force" build the module.

The only way to be sure that a build reruns if it fails is to run it even if 
there are no changes. If you don't have this ability then you have to manually 
go an force a build when it not actualy required.

So IMO, Christian Gruber has the best idea -- make it configurable.
