[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/6] buildman: Avoid retrying a build if it definitely failed

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Tue Jul 15 01:51:01 CEST 2014


After a build fails buildman will reconfigure and try again, if it did not
reconfigure before the build. However it doesn't actually keep track of
whether it did reconfigure on the previous attempt.

Fix that logic to avoid a pointless rebuild. This speeds things up quite a
bit for failing builds. Previously they would always be built twice.
