Hello,
Here is a proposal for the result of make help for the chain-build
target, what I changed relates with : and prallel builds:
chain-build Build current package in order with
other packages
example: make chain-build CHAIN='libwidget libgizmo'
The current package is added to the end of the CHAIN list.
Colons (:) can be used in the CHAIN parameter to define
parallely built package groups.
Packages in a single group will be built in parallel,
and all packages in a group must build successfully and
populate the repository before the next group will begin building.
For example
make chain-build CHAIN='libwidget libaselib : libgizmo
:'
will cause libwidget and libaselib to be build in parallel,
followed by libgizmo and then the current directory package.
If no groups are defined, packages will be built sequentially.
Does chain-build also allow for boostrapping situation i.e. could one do
make chain-build CHAIN='libwidget libaselib : libgizmo : libwidget
to rebuild libwidget against the newly built libgizmo ?
