'Twas brillig, and Maarten Bosmans at 16/11/11 01:08 did gyre and gimble: > Is there anything (except spelling issues) against this patch? I don't know... I guess you can just pass "-C" to autogen.sh and bootstrap.sh anyway to get this behaviour, so it's not a real win. I suppose that it's likely that a cache could be a bit confusing to use by default seeing as people might run it, realise they have a missing dep and then install it, then rerun bootstrap/autogen.... under this circumstance having a cache is likely to be more problem causing than problem solving. For those of use doing this kind of thing often, we can know to pass -C to the commands. I actually always run bootstrap/autogen without the configure stage anyway, as I always use a separate build dir, so this optimisation won't really help me or others that do this. So I think that on balance, it's likely better to no cache this stage. Feel free to disagree with me!
