Incremental compilation

[Ruttie2006]

Is it possible to use incremental compilation (using intermediary files from previous build) with this repo?
Having to rebuild the kernel all the way from scratch takes a long time, and I though incremental compilation might speed it up.

Just use ccache

[Ruttie2006]

The arch linux wiki states for ccache:

ccache is effective only when compiling exactly identical sources. (More exactly, preprocessed sources.)

and

In the Gentoo Linux community, a source based distribution, ccache has been notorious for its placebo effect

Is it truly effective in this usecase?

Well, it depends how much the kernel source changes. if you disable debug in the kernel config, then it should hit most time

[Ruttie2006]

How would I 'disable debug in the kernel config'?
Do you simply mean setting _debugdisable="true" in the customization.cfg?

[ptr1337]

yes
