Re: Relocatable dist

Discussion I've been seeing is Hadrian will not be ready for production use for 8.4. Pulling it in tree is scheduled for 8.4 mostly to make it easier to keep up to date with other changes and to make it easier to work on and test the various missing pieces: as I understand it, Hadrian can't yet deal with all of the various platform special cases, etc. that an actual release requires.

Why are you saying that?

I think, Moritz is right. Hadrian is supposed to be the build system for 8.4. Adding new functionality for cross-compilation to the old build system is frustrating.

However, I am now again at the point where I start hacking on the build system, while Hadrian is imminent. And this is quite depressing

Realistically, while Hadrian going into the tree may be imminent, as I understand it Hadrian becoming the primary build system --- or even a viable alternative build system --- is not. It's more of a repo logistics speed bump. Just let it go for now.
