Don't get me wrong - I fully appreciate the need for it in your situation. Some other people have spoken out strongly against it in IRC, but I take a much more "inclusive" attitude towards it :-) I'm also cognizant of the need to make sure that Phase0 devs are building the same images as OpenMoko core devs, to ensure that no time is wasted on bug reports that come from building and testing different things. That's the main reason why I wrote MokoMakefile, so we can be sure of reproducible environments and bug reports. And the new 'force-rebuild' target, which should ensure a build the same as the core devs are doing. -- Rod
