09/09/2015, 2:30 AMmy understanding around a lot of this abstraction was that it was to make a build graph server easier - e

09/09/2015, 2:30 AMI just don't see how so after my dive - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:30 AMThat is very true - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:30 AMIts easy to collect args for some alias - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:30 AMthe collector supports deps or it does not - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:30 AMwhich means you can traverse more addresses from the collector or not - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:30 AMSo - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:31 AMand that code is already there! - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:31 AMsome_target(... repo = repo_target('://public') ...) - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:31 AMOr even - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:31 AM`some_target(... repo = deference('://public') ...)`` - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:31 AMnono - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:31 AMjust repo='//:public' - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMAh, so it's type is unambiguous - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMIt is always a spec - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMand in the target it does or does not turn that nto a traversable_spec - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMOkay, that's fine - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMthat latter bit is the sign to BuildGraph - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMI was stretching for full dereferencing - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMyou already handled all this at the what to traverse level - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMk - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMthat would be nice - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:32 AMbut current interface is good enough - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:33 AM=you - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:33 AMto actually implement this - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:33 AMWe already have this, it's just by hand - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:33 AMyup - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:33 AMAnd error prone, etc - e
enough-analyst-54434
09/09/2015, 2:33 AMWhich is a good start point I think - b
bored-art-40741
09/09/2015, 2:33 AMI agree that tightening it up is a great incremental improvement
