I have no idea what tcbuild is. I blow people off when they complain that the tinderbox doesn't work exactly like 'make tinderbox' because it's not intended to. > > Oh, and 'make tinderbox' should die. > No, it is very developer friendly as it Just Works(tm) as a single > command from an existing source tree checkout. We already had 'make universe'. The story behind 'make tinderbox' is that Alfred threw a fit over a tinderbox breakage and insisted, despite being provided with ample proof to the contrary, that my tinderbox was a black box which nobody knew how worked and nobody could reproduce and that tinderbox reports were therefore worthless. He then proceeded to implement 'make tinderbox' purely to piss me off. It serves no other purpose and needs to die. > It also happens to build more of the tree than the periodic tinderbox > (by building more kernel configs, albeit doing quite a bit of > duplicate work for platforms like arm in the process). That's simply not true. The tinderbox builds exactly the same kernels as 'make tinderbox' if they're present. The issue here is that a bug in the source tree prevents some of these kernel configurations from being generated, hence the tinderbox cannot build them.
