Please, this would be my last reply to this thread. Yet another time I'm
getting an answer that reshuffling files in the directory makes build time
shorter. Seriously, am I writing with background and foreground text colors
being set to the same value or what?
Is there any real, serious reason to break compatibility with all existing
branches, make modules harder to find, whatever else, BESIDES hacking around a
broken build system which can't have proper grouping? I proposed to properly
solve this with either sysgen, cmake or anything else. With a build system
which does not suck. Not with a build system, where you need to adjust file
paths in order to be able to control build process!
I'm glad to participate in a discussion about pros and cons of a proposed new
tree layout, but so far the only thing I keep listening to is that it's somehow
going to make build time shorter. Let's be honest: It won't. If a 1 liner in
PSDK causes whole tree to rebuild, it will take the same with the new layout.
It will just be built in a different order, but still all will be rebuilt,
because of (somehow broken, or too strict, or incompatible with the makefile)
dependencies tracking. It won't make build time shorter until a new build
system is in place.
WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

Great, we came to an agreement: it is logical :). Reasonability is
discussable...
I'm yet to hear any arguments as to how the current layout is better than the
suggested one.
As the tree grows in size it's going to become more and more difficult to
manage.
Do we really have to wait until we're at a point where it takes 5 hours to
build after making a 1 line change to a PSDK file?
As far as I can tell, our current layout, by type, only serves to make modules
easy to find.
In comparison, Timo's alphabetical point is actually as reasonable as the
current layout.
