[U-Boot] Collapsing buildman output dir?

[U-Boot] Collapsing buildman output dir?

[Tom Rini]

Hey,

So a common use case for me is building a single board.  I've updated my
wrapper script from BUILD_DIR=$MACHINE ./MAKEALL $MACHINE (roughly, of
course) to:
./tools/buildman/buildman --keep-outputs -dvel --output $MACHINE ^$MACHINE$

Which results in my output being ./$MACHINE/current/current/$MACHINE
rather than just $MACHINE.  Is there a way we can collapse things down
easily when we know we aren't going to be building multiple commits?
Thanks!

Are you thinking of a new option to do this?

Well, if we can't just do it automatically, it's probably not worth the
hassle.  Probably..

It sounds like something we should do. Will add to the list :-)

While you're looking into it, when building without a branch, we get
the output tree in $(OUTPUT_DIR)/current/current. I'd like it if one of
the "/curent" could be removed.
