04/10/2019, 10:16 PMhttps://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/7426 it's possible to modify the v1 engine to fix the caching bug endemic to the current c++/python_dist() support, but just migrating to v2 would also work. i'm probably going to prioritize the migration of the native backend to v2 in my free time because why not

04/10/2019, 10:24 PMi know that's a rhetorical question, buuut... the answer is probably: because we don't have caching or a target API for v2 yet

04/10/2019, 10:25 PMi don't super care about the target api i can develop that as i go

04/10/2019, 10:27 PMit's just a little frustrating because we can't really land a v2 native ruleset until process execution caching works

04/10/2019, 10:27 PMwhich is fine because i've wanted to do that recently anyway

04/10/2019, 10:27 PMsketching sounds very good

04/10/2019, 10:28 PMi'm going to dump some issues in the native backend project: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/projects/11

04/10/2019, 10:28 PMoh ha we already have https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/7136 i'll update it

04/10/2019, 10:37 PMi just posted the todo for v2 porting to the native backend in 7136 (very simple)

04/10/2019, 10:37 PMi'm already diving into the process execution stuff again when debugging remoting flakiness so focusing on local process execution caching is a good convergence
