Description Elijah Newren 2006-07-25 19:43:30 UTC 
Unlike <tarball> modules, <distutils> modules which use a tarball branch will needlessly be rebuilt.  An entry is added to $prefix/share/jhbuild/packagedb.xml for the module, but it seems to be ignored.
Comment 1 James Henstridge 2006-07-25 22:16:17 UTC 
This isn't related to the <distutiles> module type.  It is actually an issue of the tarball support of the generic version control interface in jhbuild.  So it also appears if you use the new <autotools> element with a tarball <branch>.

I am planning to fix this in such a way that it benefits non tarball modules too (i.e. don't rebuild a CVS or Subversion module if it hasn't changed and none of its dependencies were rebuilt).  That isn't in place yet though.

This should have been fixed as part of bug 313997.
