while documenting http://www.haiku-os.org/node/2516 <--shameless plug,
i noticed a few oddities between UserBuildConfig and ReleaseBuildProfiles
First, a user is able to create a UserBuildConfig with :
switch $(HAIKU_BUILD_PROFILE) {
case "alpha-*" : {
Echo Hello From UserBuildConfig ...
Echo These lines will appear before ReleaseBuildProfile's Echo
statement.
HAIKU_ROOT_USER_NAME = walter ;
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages <args> ; or
AddFilesToHaikuImage <args> ;
}
}
In a quick test, it seems that even though a user can do this, many of
the commands and variables will not take effect. In other words, a
user may be confused why this isn't working as intended, but at least
the official build profiles will not be modified.
However, if a user places the following commands directly in their
UserBuildConfig,
eg, not inside a switch-case statement, then the ReleaseBuildProfiles
will be affected.
AddOptionalHaikuImagePackages <args> ; or
AddFilesToHaikuImage <args> ;
Are either of these desirable?
To me, it seems that we would want to preserve the integrity and
uniformity of the ReleaseBuildProfiles by somehow de-activating all
UserBuildConfig files.
