Summary Stale .deps files can cause unnecessary builds
Philip Rogers
Reported 2013-01-23 22:11:50 PST
After r140265 removed SVGStylable, stale .deps files caused unnecessary rebuilds (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107731). A possible solution proposed on IRC was to remove .deps files that reference nonexistent files.

Wasn't the problem that some IDL's were not touched, so that the rebuild of these files was not triggered? Can't we just touch these files to make it work for everyone for now? :P we did this in the past as well.

ap@webkit.org - Does Webkit use "DEPS"?

We don't. There are some imported with libwebrtc, but they are likely unused, and this bug certainly wasn't about those.
