918295 - |APP=... make install-gaia| activate too many targets in the build system

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Attachment: build.patch

When doing |APP=homescreen make install-gaia| there is way too many targets that are fired by the build system. This results into a painful log as well as additional developer time spent for each flash.

Can we fix the build system to have something similar to the output returned with the attached patch when someone do |APP=homescreen make install-gaia| ?

Here is the time spent on my machine without the patch:
real	0m3.274s
user	0m0.748s
sys	0m0.316s

And here the time spent with the patch:
real	0m1.752s
user	0m0.416s
sys	0m0.136s

One can argue that it is no a big win, but so many persons are loosing 1.5 seconds everytime that it ends up beeing a long time...
