Hi,
I'm looking for some documents which explain when we need to touch CLOBBER
to avoid build failure. However, I've not found such document yet. I see
such information only in CLOBBER about WebIDL change.
So, is there any document which lists up when we need to touch CLOBBER?
The rule is that CLOBBER should never need to be touched. Unfortunately,
our build system is far from perfect, and there are plenty of cases
where that doesn't actually hold true. There are a bunch of bugs filed
for those cases, and new ones should be filed and marked as blocking bug
#941904. IOW, the dependencies of bug #941904 that are still open are
the currently known cases where a CLOBBER was required, but many of them
are of the form "bug #xxxx required a clobber".
Mike
Thank you for the information! That fixes my concern. I thought that
platform developers need to touch CLOBBER at writing patches by themselves.
So, not necessary us to touch CLOBBER really helps me.
