#19 Figure out a reasonable way to indicate components build order
Closed: Fixed 7 years ago Opened 7 years ago by psabata.

We knew this had to be done at some point. Now's the time!

This is necessary for any module that includes its own dependencies, i.e. almost all of them. There's no simple & doable way to do this automatically at the moment. Module authors need to be able to tell the order in which the components are built, or at least express some primitive dependencies in the components section.


We'll probably do this with tagging components with a build index which would associate them with a particular build group. These build groups would be build in one go and the results would be tagged back into the build tag. A simple integer would do, with the default value of zero if not specified.

This should probably be shared among all the component types but I'm still not sure about that.

I also worry about how readable this will be...
