Even if all of the deps and the build system in general were bug-free and flawless right now, if it ever gains a bug in the future, using incremental builds like that could yield practically unreproducible failures, or incorrect reports of success (if we skipped building part of the tree). And not to mention that we're re-running configure each time and regenerating Makefiles in case any of those change. Outside of buildbot that's an unusual situation for the build system to handle, so it makes the builds in buildbot differ quite a bit from how the tree actually gets built in the real world. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
