https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26642

           Summary: build-webkit doesn't respect default configuration for
                    git branches
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: opendarwin at lapcatsoftware.com


When you have a git branch other than master checked out, build-webkit places
the build products in WebKit/WebKitBuild/<branch-name>. However, it doesn't
respect any default configuration that is set via
WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/set-webkit-configuration. For example, I use
WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/set-webkit-configuration --debug, but build-webkit
builds Release rather than Debug for my git branch.

The configuration file containing "Debug" is located at
WebKit/WebKitBuild/Configuration. If I run
WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/set-webkit-configuration --debug with a non-master
git branch, it still writes the Configuration file at that same location rather
than to WebKit/WebKitBuild/<branch-name>/Configuration.

Ideally, in my opinion, build-webkit would just respect the setting in the file
WebKit/WebKitBuild/Configuration. However, it would also be acceptable to fix
this bug by modifying set-webkit-configuration to write the Configuration file
to the branch build location, and have build-webkit respect that.
