Hi MacPorts core devs,
I was wondering whether it is possible to configure the buildbots in such a way
that they can observe if a just rebuilt port is a dependency of other ports
which
haven’t been built successfully yet. If such a case is met it could trigger a
rebuild-cascade which makes sure that all those already failed ports waiting for
their dependency to appear will (hopefully) also succeed in building.
I admit, that this might be a bit dangerous, as it could trigger (unexpectedly)
rebuild avalanches, but I thought it would be neat to have…
Greets,
Marko
P.S.: Should I create a trac ticket for this, or does something like that exist
as a planned feature or is it perhaps even already implemented in
MacPorts?
