There is already a 'universe' target that does everything Alfred wants except exit 1 on error. At least one working patch was put forward (by bz@) to make it do that, and phk@ agreed that it was a sensible thing to do. There is no need for a new target, and if there were, calling it tinderwhatever would be misleading at best. > [...] I do think that keeping a tinderfarm build target within the > make system would be beneficial though, as it would allow the > tinderbox Perl script to shrink [...] No, it wouldn't. > 3.

This is a non-issue; "continue moving on" is how 'make universe' has always worked, and I added 'blah target failed' a week ago. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
