Some of you may have noticed the traffic on bug 6821. I've hijacked
this bug to further my desire to split up BUILD to its logical pieces,
COMPILE and INSTALL. I've submitted some patches that accomplish the
task and written a design doc about it [1]. I've also gone ahead and
applied the changes to my local perforce client. Changes are just waiting
to be submitted.
A few issues come up here, first of all there is a POST_BUILD script,
and a POST_INSTALL script which run in sequence after BUILD finishes,
of course with my latest changes POST_BUILD runs after INSTALL and
POST_INSTALL runs after that, perhaps we should rename POST_BUILD
something more useful, or rename POST_INSTALL something else? Thoughts?
The final goal of all this is make a new sorcery script that lets the
user run any given spell script by itself (outside of the dependency
mechanism), allowing the user to have more fine-tuned and lower level
control over the casting process. The wiki page details the basic idea
behind this script. I've named the script mutter, does anyone have a
better name? Other thoughts?
And of course another thing that has to happen in order to make mutter
is to move a bunch of the functions from cast into a new library (say
libcast). Any objections to me doing this?
