This is why I think the best way to deal with the situation is distributing nightly builds. First of all, we could use the distributions' make-package files to build the package. And what if it returns with an error code? Big deal, either no new nightly build on that day (and report a failure to a dedicated mailing list or somewhere), or it could try again with HEAD^ and HEAD^^ and so on until it reaches the latest successful nightly build or it finally builds it with no errors. Btw, I think it always should use make clean before compiling.

Like if you try these steps right now it will die trying to build ext/curl. It should be fixed shortly as soon as Stas commits the missing curl_file.c -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
