OK. But what about the situation when you are running a live compiled
(running) system. You want to install a new pkg containing a service (or a
bundle). And start that service without having to reboot the whole computer?
Can it compile just the extra bit needed, and add that during runtime,
without having to recompile everything from scratch (until the next reboot)?
I think another full compilation would be necessary, because
incremental compilations are hard in the current state. It shouldn't be much
of a problem though: even a full compilation should be quick enough.
Probably O(n log n), which is fine for 1000ish atoms. If it's really too
slow, I'll think about incremental compilation, but I don't want to
prematurely optimize.
Adding the extra service without restarting everything is the point of
s6-rc-update, which I would like to get more ideas on.
