Problem when running a build with the buildLayers option on dojo 1.6

[Ed Chatelain]

Problem when running a build with buildLayers on dojo 1.6.

For example if I run a build for the demos with: ./build.sh action=release profile=demos-all version=1.6

I will get a built version of demos/mail/src.js and a src.js.uncompressed.js

Then if I run with buildLayers like this: ./build.sh action=release profile=demos-all version=1.6 buildLayers=../demos/mail/src.js,../demos/skew/src.js

I am getting this output: ./build.sh action=release profile=demos-all version=1.6 buildLayers=../demos/mail/src.js,../demos/skew/src.js release: Using profile: profiles/demos-all.profile.js release: Using version number: 1.6 for the release. release: Copying: ../../dojo/../dijit to: ../../release/demosite/dijit release: Not Copied: ../../dojo/../dijit release: Copying: ../../dojo/../dojox to: ../../release/demosite/dojox release: Not Copied: ../../dojo/../dojox release: Copying: ../../dojo/../demos to: ../../release/demosite/demos release: Not Copied: ../../dojo/../demos release: Copying: ../../dojo to: ../../release/demosite/dojo release: Not Copied: ../../dojo release: Building dojo.js and layer files js: "./jslib/i18nUtil.js#68(eval)", line 1: uncaught JavaScript? runtime exception: SyntaxError?: missing } in compound statement And demos/mail/src.js is updated with the original src.js file (not built) and the src.js.uncompressed.js file is not updated.

I suspect that the reverse AMD-transform that's in the 1.6 build system breaks the buildLayers option.

The build system has been completely replaced in 1.7, so we won't be fixing this issue.

Is the buildLayers option going to be supported in 1.7?
