To me it therefore seems a better idea to move the IDE to utils, and
to have a
toplevel make command that does the same as 'make all' simply without
the
utilities. Or have a 'NOUTILS=1' define.
Or let fpmake simply build the union of packages and utils in
parallel. So separate directories, but one build stage
Well, whatever. I remember having raised the same question in the past
(indeed - on the 5th of February 2020 at 1:30am ;-) on the core list)
and this is what I got... I even explicity raised the point also
mentioned by Michael now (quoting my follow-up mail on the same day):
"OK, that would be addressed in case of inclusion under utils as well.
Even more so, actually - users who want to recompile packages for
whatever reason (e.g. to have debug information included as discussed
here recently ;-) ) aren't probably interested in waiting for rebuilding
of the IDE at all."
However, Michael refused to move it to utils at that point in time in
order not to delay the release. ;-)
