HUm... not so simple... imagine Im just a user

To setup current tazbb and chroot environment I did:

# tazpkg get-install slitaz-dev-tools tazbb
# tazdev gen-chroot
# tazdev chroot
# tazpkg get-install tazbb mercurial
# cd /home/slitaz/hg && hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok
# tazbb cook-all

Please make experimental tools a bit easier :-)

That said I'm not sure we need to rebuild toolchain each time since
package are build on the same host with the same libs. But when we
rebuild everything from sratch is better to build all base-package once
and then rebuild them a second time.

Yes!!!

I know but I think we should start a clean build from scratch because
we have a new build host ans spec.

Yes there should be a backup on mirror.
