There are two build systems I want to learn more and use. Google's https://bazel.build and Facebook's https://buckbuild.com
Both are heavily parallel and should support deterministic builds which makes remote build agents and cache sharing a breeze. I have a pretty fast machine, but 15minutes for a full build could probably be improved. How much does Gentoo take? I guess Gentoo has yet another build system, but it's not independent so we cannot use it except by switching to Gentoo. Speaking of Gentoo, seems to be the last bastion of source-based distributions. BSDs were mostly about ports but now it's all pre-built binary packages... --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 24 May 2018 8:12 PM, William L.
