Re: Keep your build scripts and deployment scripts separate

#2
The traditional Unix way of doing it (Makefiles) keeps the two kinds of scripts together but with separate targets, with 'build' and 'run' being common ones. That addresses some of your points, like not having to deploy every time you build (you can make 'build' your default target, and only call the others when explicitly needed), but I take it you're not a fan overall?
