Build clones of a cell¶
Use --clones when one selected cell should produce several distinct artifacts for machines that
must not share generated identity.
Build several clones¶
--clones defaults to 1. With --clones 3, tailor builds each selected cell three times. For a
cell slug like gizmo_pro_amd64_stable_cosi, the published output slugs are:
gizmo_pro_amd64_stable_cosi_clone0gizmo_pro_amd64_stable_cosi_clone1gizmo_pro_amd64_stable_cosi_clone2
The artifacts share meaningful content, but differ in incidental details such as fresh UUIDs and timestamps. Clone builds always run; incremental up-to-date stamps are ignored for clones.
