What bothers me is the time it takes to do a full build. You need a
good machine and some spare CPU cycles in order to do it. Maybe a
quick rebuild on each checkin and then a full rebuild, maybe once a
week or so, is the way to go!?
I don't think that's a good idea, for two reasons. The first is that
I suspect it won't make an order of magnitude difference. If you
touch anything in xemacs-base, for example, then just about everything
depends on that and it will all get rebuilt, I believe.
The second is that I think the build from scratch is what we care
about most. A rebuild of only the changed package on checkin, well,
the developer should be doing that. If cycles are a problem, then a
weekly (daily if there are changes would be nice) full rebuild should
be enough.
