What is the best behaviour for Dependencies at meta-recipes?
After thinking a little bit about it, I think the following items
should be respected / assumed:
- The meta-recipe must accumulate all dependencies for its 'childs';
- There is no need for dependencies checking when compiling each child
recipes (derived from first item);
- If a recipe is only going to be compiled only in a meta-recipe
context, the recipe should not even have a Dependencies file.
We already 'unofficially' assume the first item. Item two demands some
small adjustments at Compile. I'm not 100% sure about the third item.
The idea of the third item would be to avoid unnecessary replication
of information (which tends to get out of sync).
Comments?
I'm ok with these changes. However, I would be something more reserved
when talking about the 3rd item. Doesn't it sound better to store them
in a separate directory at the server, or maybe including a new flag
stating that they are intended to be compiled as a group?
