fix incremental mode when used without build script #162
Conversation
… set There's no reason to cache images unless there's a build script which we want to speed up the preparation for. Fixes: systemd#143
…uild script Let's be helpful to the user, informing him that -i only really makes sense in build script mode.

As said in my original PR, i think there is a valid usecase for -i support without build script: it's producing distribution spins (e.g. pre-customize it with non-standard packages, create users, define locales, ...). You don't build anything but there is a trial-and-error approach that can be improved a lot by supporting caching. |

Yes I wanted to construct my container incrementally, starting simple (since I was also learning mkosi at the same time), and then adding more and more stuff for my needs, but one thing at a time to test if everything works so far. But I stopped using mkosi because the caching didn't work and it was too slow to execute everything each time (installing all the base packages etc, even if the packages are already downloaded). |

Replaced by #155. |
A fix for #143. I don't think -i without build script makes sense, but we should handle it gracefully.
