Thanks for the tips. I'm super-hyped that blaze was open sourced, it is one of the best systems I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

A couple more questions :)

* Any pointers for adding Scala (sbt?) support? I'd start here: http://bazel.io/docs/skylark/rules.html.

* Suppose I develop using multiple repos and http_archive. I'd like to make changes both to a library and to a project that depends on it simultaneously, without committing the library patches to master github repo just yet. Is there a way to configure the http_archive, let's say by saying "bazel --mode=local", and have it customize the remote archive http to use a different url (say, my github's fork instead of the master github) for that build?

Scala support: yes, add using Skylark. Definitely let us know if you run into any rough edges, Skylark is a work-in-progress.

For multiple repos: there's no command line flag, but you could change the WORKSPACE file to use http://bazel.io/docs/build-encyclopedia.html#local_repositor.... Unfortunately, this may be of limited use to you. At the moment it's optimized/bugged to assumed that your local repos don't change, so it won't rebuild them (this is great for things like the JDK and gcc, but not so much for actual in-development repos). Feel free to file feature requests for any functionality you need, I'll be working on this a lot over the next couple months.
