ignore unused version identifiers when computing build cache id #1312

Open MartinNowak opened 6 years ago

MartinNowak commented 6 years ago

The main goal here is to reduce the number of rebuilds due to unused version identifiers affecting the build cache id (hash, e.g. libevent-debug-linux.posix-x86_64-dmd_2077-2F8A3B95930E1DCE2CC7D043E90AE821). Dub could grep the package source code for version\s*(\([^)]*\)) to infer the list of used version identifiers. We could add a boolean option usesVersionIdentifiersInMixins that defaults to true, and only apply such an optimization when it's set to false.
