+1 Slow-build-fast-run should be the default if you're sure the optimization works. Only developers are likely to run a given build few enough times to save seconds, and most people are like to turn to some other task as soon as they type "make". It's a slightly different use case, but in XEmacs we have a --quick-build configure option which means that the "usual targets" don't rebuild a bunch of auxiliary targets (mostly documentation and development infrastructure such as xref caches). Never heard a complaint about that either from the developers (who learned to use --quick-build easily enough) or the beta testers (who do remark on long build times, but only once a week or so for most of them). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
