[conda] continuing a build with conda-build

[bryan cole]

Hi,

Is there a way to tell conda-build to continue with a previous build,
rather than starting afresh? While I get the philosophy of building inside
a clean environment, I'm trying to debug a recipe for a somewhat large
package (pcl) on a resource-constrained system. When the build fails 6
hours in due to some correctable error (not enough memory, missing library
or include path etc.), starting afresh doesn't appeal, at least until I've
got the recipe debugged.

Thanks,

Bryan

There's no way that I know of to restart conda-build. But when a build
fails, you can find its working directory, add the build and host prefixes
to PATH and resume your build on the command line, incorporating extra
packages, flags, and any other fixes back to the recipe.

OK. Thanks.
