The Awesome Factor

Factor’s module system has the ability to reload changed files from the UI, in the correct order, by calling reload-modules, which is bound to F8. When you download an image someone else created, the timestamps won’t match up and when you reload the modules it will try to reload all of the Factor library. You don’t want this.

There are several ways to fix the problem. First, you could generate a new image USE: image "x86" make-image and bootstrap again. Another way is to call reset-modified and then save the image. However, until you bootstrap from an image that you made yourself, will have the same problem.

If you make a module, don’t forget to PROVIDE: contrib/my-module ; at the very least, or else F8 will not reload the changes you make after requireing it.
