feature request: pre-fetch all sources
Prevent a scenario where overnight builds fail because of network or 404 issues. Find these early.
This pre-fetch mechanism could even (externally) support retries without having to modify abuild-fetch
.
Also with the recent changes to force a clean environment during system/
build, build (or fetch) failures are not tolerated at all.
Since system/
does not change often, we should be able to assume that having all sources ahead of time will result in a successful build.
Instructions/documentation need to be written for how to recover from any failure during the system/
first-pass build.
The quick hack is rm -fr /.autobuilder/*/rootfs/
which DOES NOT remove any packages or keys etc.
