/ME wundering what --clean or --noinit are going to do:

osc help build openSUSE_Factory i586 gramps.spec build: build a package on your local machine You need to call the command inside a package directory.

usage: 1. osc build <platform> <arch> <specfile> [--clean|--noinit] 2. BUILD_DIST=... osc build <specfile> [--clean|--noinit] where BUILD_DIST equals <platform>-<arch>

What is going to be cleaned? The package cache, build directory or the install directory or just all?

--noinit? What is it going to do?

AFAIK (please double check!): --clean: Delete old build root before initializing it. --noinit: Skip initialization of build root and start with build directly

Exactly.

...

--noinit can be used to speed building up if you just changed a patch. If you add additional BuildRequires, it might *not* add them.

--clean might be sometimes faster than the normal deinstall/install cycle since it does a rm -rf.

I very much hope that this information (when correct of course) will become part of the 'osc help build' output.

Good idea; right now it is only part of the build --help output. (osc just passes things on.)
