Today there are plenty of modern build tool systems available in the
wild (in no particular order):
* http://bazel.io
* https://pantsbuild.github.io
* http://shakebuild.com
* https://ninja-build.org
* https://buckbuild.com
The attributes, that all these build tools have in common, are:
* reliable
* correct
* very fast
* reproducible
It must not always be the other build tool, this project is currently
using. Or, quoting Gerrit Code Review maintainer here:
"Friends, don't let friends use <the other build tool system>!"
This change is non-complete implementation of JGit build in Buck,
needed by Gerrit Code Review to replace its dependency with standlone
JGit cell. This is very useful when a developer is working on both
projects and is trying to integrate changes made in JGit in Gerrit.
The supported workflow is:
$ cd jgit
$ emacs <hack>
$ cd ../gerrit
$ buck build --config repositories.jgit=../jgit gerrit
With --config repositories.jgit=../jgit jgit cell is routed through
JGit development tree.
To build jgit, issue:
$ buck build //:jgit
[-] PROCESSING BUCK FILES...FINISHED 0,0s
Yes, you can't measure no-op build time, given that Buck daemon is
used.
