I don't quite understand what you have in mind. Having to configure and build after each edit would be too slow. If we are going to get a reproducible checksum when building from tarballs, then the BUILD_EPOCH has to live in a file. Can I copy the code that updates that file? Will waf build then rebuild whatever needs rebuilding? If so, I'll put the update step in my script and I'll be happy. I can manually delete stuff there too if waf isn't smart enough to rebuild the right stuff. -- These are my opinions.
