Hi,

Absolutely yes to the second. Some reservations about the first: While doing a
build might feel encouraging, its not too rare that newcomers somehow mess up
their tree and since they are insecure are not sure if they can fix that in
ways an experienced dev confidently does. As such, having a one-click way to
get back to that 'just after build'-state is certainly very comforting.

OTOH this is in a VM -- If we somehow inject a big fat "Your build just
finished, you should REALLY create a snapshot of the VM right now" at the end
of the build, that might be helpful too (e.g. via solenv/gbuild/extensions).

Best,

Bjoern
