[swift-dev] Build and install custom toolchain?

[Kevin Ballard]

It does help, thanks. I'm surprised there's no script (or option to build-script) to do this automatically. Seems like a reasonable thing to want to do upon occasion.

Also, I assume that those of us who aren't at Apple probably don't want to be using /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/ as our install dir, but instead /Library/Developer/Toolchains/ like where the snapshot installs.

I assume there must be some automated way to construct the package installer, but nothing immediately leaps out at me. It looks like build-script can create a root, but that seems to be for BNI, which isn't helpful.

I want to teach it how to find swift in /Library/Developer/Toolchains instead, which requires that I actually install a toolchain there (teaching it how to use the build folder from my swift checkout is doable, but that's not very portable).
