Subject: Fix/improve restarts by just waiting a sec
X-Git-Tag: 0.1.1^0
X-Git-Url: https://git.ladys.computer/Shushe/commitdiff_plain/e7c797ffb120c0dac9be13b28d533d49d164b6d0?ds=sidebyside;hp=e4f65cee884c40d631209b5cbb711de161a2969a

Fix/improve restarts by just waiting a sec

The previous method of attempting to retroactively reduce the timestamp
of the make·file when compiling dependencies hasn’t seemed reliable in
practice and probably isn’t portable either. However, a simple
`sleep 1` after touching the make·file but before the first restart
seems to reliably ensure the second restart happens.
