Message: [QUOTE="Keith Thompson, post: 1713475"] Ideally, yes. But if the invocation of make is buried under layers of customized build tools, which require the sources to be inside nested gzipped tarballs, it's sometimes easier to restart the build and let it run while I'm off doing something else. Since the software is pre-packaged and tested before it gets to me, I seldom run into compilation failures anyway. If you want to say that this is a flawed method for building software, I won't argue with you -- both because you're right and because it's off-topic. [/QUOTE]
