Hi all,
When keeping MANIFEST in svn, it is usually desirable to have minimal
diff to it (so you see what actually changed, which often reveals
thatyou forgot to update MANIFEST.SKIP), which means regenerating it
the same way every time. The following will give different results:
./Build distmeta ; rm MANIFEST ; ./Build MANIFEST
./Build distmeta ; >MANIFEST ; ./Build MANIFEST
And if you don't build the distmeta, the META.yml and etc will get
removed from the new manifest (unless you don't truncate/rm the
manifest, in which case your regen will fail to note that files have
changed.)
Should ACTION_manifest (or another action) try to encapsulate this?
What would that break if it were changed?
Thanks,
Eric
