10/26/2015, 12:53 AMThe whole target graph side of the world does not in fact run on targets, it runs on Serializables that are top-level and have a name - w

10/26/2015, 12:54 AMok. so then when i say "Configuration identifies a Product"... that may be true, but only because everything in build files is configuration - e

10/26/2015, 12:54 AMIts misleading though in my mind - w

10/26/2015, 12:55 AMwhen you use a "config selector", you're actually differentiating between products - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/26/2015, 12:55 AMYes - but those should be though of as a rare corner case enabler - w

10/26/2015, 12:55 AMperhaps, but enlightening - e

10/26/2015, 12:55 AMThey are not really fundamental or needed very often depending on your repo - e

10/26/2015, 12:55 AMThey are needed when you have 8 thirft compilers - e

10/26/2015, 12:56 AMYes - those sorts of things - w

10/26/2015, 12:56 AMThey aren't actually - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/26/2015, 12:56 AMbut i think those are different products - e

10/26/2015, 12:56 AMSelectors are only needed if you have ambiguity - w

10/26/2015, 12:57 AMYou can have multiples like you enumerate and setup your graph w/o ambiguity - w

10/26/2015, 12:57 AMif you change the Configuration on a Target, it will produce a different product - e

10/26/2015, 12:57 AMfor 1 verb maybe - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/26/2015, 12:57 AM(or select a different one) - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/26/2015, 12:58 AMI guess my push here is to disassociate targets from verbs - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/26/2015, 12:58 AMin the current world they are too tightly tied - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/26/2015, 12:58 AMhm. this is true... but those Configurations don't mean anything without the verbs that consume them probably
