The increasing number of modules to be built with jhbuild



Hi,

Did a clean build of GNOME 2.8 through jhbuild today and the total number of modules it wanted to build was 106. I noticed quite a number of "support" libraries that are not really part of GNOME in there.

These where not even built from CVS but downloaded as tarballs. Shouldn't these really be part of the bootstrap rather than included in the build since they will be rebuilt everytime you do a 'jhbuild build' (iirc).

It would also be nice to be able to skip these when you already have them on your system. Some way of overriding which modules are provided on a system level already would be nice (in your ~/.jhbuildrc preferrably). If this already works, please let me know.

Best Regards,
  Mikael Hallendal
