Much as I dislike it, we may need to revisit the idea about putting
the flex output files in CVS...
Why? This only affects developers building from a CVS pull. You don't
need any flex at all to build from a tarball. If developers can't
install flex on a *nix box they need to get out of the business.
I wonder if it would be helpful to have a buildfarm option whereby
it would fetch the latest nightly-snapshot tarball and use that instead
of a CVS pull. This would have the dual advantage of actually testing
builds from tarballs and requiring less stuff on the buildfarm machine.
It wouldn't be useful for more-than-once-a-day builds, but a lot of
the machines only build that often anyhow.
That is certainly doable. It would be in effect a forced run, because we
would have no notion of what had changed. Presumably, this would only be
for HEAD - we don't do daily snapshots of the back branches, do we?
