Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 114878
"build --from" cannot be combined with selecting modules via source_config
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:22:03 UTC
imagine the following scenario: - you make a change in module SVX - you make depending changes in selected modules depending on SVX - you add SVX and the selected modules to your source_config file - you want to build SVX, and the selected modules, with a single command Normally, I'd expect "build --from svx" to do this. However, if you attempt that, then build.pl will complain, because there are modules depending on SVX which are *not* part of source_config. That's somewhat counter-intuitive, in my opinion. In other modes (e.g. build --all), source_config is some kind of additional layer, which comes into play right after build.pl calculated the modules to build. That is, *first* build.pl determines the modules which it should build, *then* it consults source_config to restrict this module list further. So, the request would be to let "build --from" behave this way, too - use source_config as final instance to limit the to-be-built modules, instead of bailing out with an error. Of course, the situation might still warrant a warning, issued by build.pl.
