Hi,
If you wish to have something always run, no matter what, do
not touch build at the end. (No need to create a stamp file and then
remove it).
If you only sometimes want to rebuild it, create a stamp file
in the rules, just rm -f it before running make. (my head hurts with
all this abuild stuff).
If you add patches, run ./deban/rules clean, or something. Or
rm -f build.
I fail to see how a stamp-build makes any difference -- either
it shal rebuild no matter what, or it woould not build after applying
the patch -- I don't see how this would work correctly on all cases.
(Changing the stamp file name to be different from the target means
the target is always remade -- obviating the function of the stamp
file). What am I missing?
I too see no need to put this into policy.
