For example, you are working on patch for kernel or chromium or something huge like this.
src= in your xxxxx.nix points to a local working directory, so every change would result in rebuilding of the deviation and its dependants. Nice so far. The problem is any change implies full rebuild, because .o files are not preserved between the builds, and in case of big projects it takes hours instead of seconds. What could be done here? An nix-build option to forcible preserve tmp directories (--just-keep-and-reuse-tmp-i-know-what-i-am-doing) ? _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
