Ittay Dror commented on BUILDR-182:
-----------------------------------
4. add a hook that allows me to tell drb to reload buildfile. e.g., if some
environmental condition changes, or a required file is changed. this is minor
for performance reasons (i can always restart), but would be good if i want to
use drb to help build on remote machines (in which case i don't want to log in
and restart)

> Project: Buildr
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 1.3.4
> Reporter: Ittay Dror
>
> Add hooks to Snapshot, so there can be better control over what tasks are
> redefined in each build:
> 1. some tasks are defined lazily to save performance when buildr runs
> directly. however, for performance reasons i don't want to define them in
> each subsequent run. furthermore, some of those tasks may have logic to not
> execute in subsequent builds under some circumstances.
> ==> add option to add tasks to the snapshot
> 2. some tasks may need to recreate their prerequisites in each run. for
> example in C++ a library depends on the obj files from which it is linked.
> but in each run the list of objects needs to be reconstructed to account for
> changes in the files. this can be handled by lazily defining this list (since
> drb always returns the prerequisites to their original state), yet, it may be
> easier if a hook is provided that instructs drb to recreate a task completely
> in subsequent runs.
