At rPath, we very intentionally didn't bake it into a command line argument because we knew people would use it and it would break our model of truly reproducible builds. Basically, most OS imports you don't need it. We didn't do that to bootstrap rPL2 from rPL1, even though they were significantly different. As far as I know, the only other time we did this was for the initial RHEL encapsulated import. Ultimately, it's only a shortcut and never necessary, and it is only useful when you are in source code anyway, so I'd really rather not implement this as a feature that breaks the reproducible build model. _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
