C is updated, then A has to be rebuilt despite its direct
dependencies
being unchanged. This does not appear to be reasonable.
I have this working in a private branch for a few years. Along with
allowing Rust to build OFF of tmpfs, and avoiding gcc*/llvm*/rust
building concurrently. It's been hard to find time to work on it and get
proper testing; there have been a lot of issues identified. I think it's
stable now, but the subpackages work that went into Poudriere recently
requires me to rebase my work. It's a few hundred commits in conflict.
It's so massive I have not figured out how to move forward yet. I need
to find time for it. If it were up to me I would strip out subpackages
support because it has no tests, isn't properly supported in Poudriere
(things needlessly rebuild), had its examples reverted, and has
community pushback about it. As is once I find time to get my changes
rebased in I need to add tests and proper support for subpackages.
This sounds harsher to subpackages that I intended. It's actually a very
simple change to Poudriere, it just touches a lot of places that cause
me conflicts and slow me down. It's my fault for sleeping on
reviewing/merging the feature for the past few years leading to the
issues I have with it now.
