The M3 goal is to simplify Makefile into merely a compatibility layer for the existing commands, and move all the logic into external JavaScript-based build tools. By doing so it would improve the maintainability and readability of the build system. We tentatively choose [http://gulpjs.com/ Gulp.js] as target currently as it offers [https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp#incremental-builds incremental builds] and stream workflow. | |||
* '''Deliverable:''' Purge complex logic from Makefile and rely on an external JavaScript-based build tools for most of the complexities. | |||
* '''Expected schedule:''' TBD | |||
* '''Breakdowns:''' TBD | |||

It should continue to work if we keep hosting our gaia-node-modules mirror to solve such situation. Replacing the make-shift gaia-node-modules mirror is not the scope of this work, but we are looking forward to find a way to do that. | It should continue to work if we keep hosting our gaia-node-modules mirror to solve such situation.

== | == Buildbot should pre-install proper command tools (node.js, gulp) if we decide to use gulp, right? == | ||
Buildbot has already installed node environment except gulp. For gulp, we can pre-install gulp -g in buildbot, or download gulp while first time build then launch it by relative path. | Buildbot has already installed node environment except gulp.

Although we believe that M1 & | Although we believe that M1 & M2 won't effect obviously on performance, it probably happen on M3. So we should ensure that we take full advantage of multi-core systems to speed up our workflow in Node.js environment (with gulp). | ||
