Oh hey, great! Then perhaps the bigger issue is that this program should be better highlighted in the developer docs, and possibly even called out in the build-script docs?
I agree that it needs a bit of TLC, though. Having to specify the build-dir is a bit disappointing. Any reason it can’t support “use the one that results from these build-script flags” as the default workflow?
