Does the 'stage=2' setting not work anymore in build.mk?
Hi, I tried setting 'stage=2' in my mk/build.mk file, but the stage 1 compiler is still getting rebuilt (and of course this causes the stage 2 compiler to be rebuilt from scratch...). I am using BuildFlavour=devel2. What am I missing? Thanks, Gergo
I don't see any relevant change in the last week. I'll give it a try and see if I can reproduce. Edward Excerpts from Dr. ERDI Gergo's message of 2014-08-29 12:44:07 +0100:

OK, it's definitely worked for me in that time. Do you have mk/are-validating.mk in your tree? Also do try on a fresh working copy. Edward Excerpts from Dr. ERDI Gergo's message of 2014-08-29 13:01:44 +0100:

I don't think it's been working properly for me for months now.
I think make maintainer-clean removes it. I find this hidden pieces of
state annoying. It has definitely tripped me up in the past. Perhaps we can
have make clean remove it?

Yes I do! Is that the remnant of some failed validation process? Should I remove it?

I've removed it manually and now 'stage=2' works as it used to. Thanks both of you!
are-validating.mk flips GHC tree into "validating mode", which makes it ignore mk/build.mk. Remember to delete it when you are done validating. Edward Excerpts from Dr. ERDI Gergo's message of 2014-08-29 13:14:04 +0100:
