Anything is possible the question is: "Should we commit time/resources to hardwiring a pm into JHALFS" I do not believe the use of package manager to install the books is proper for JHALFS. 'Hard wiring' a package manager moves jhalfs one step closer to be a full blown distro manager and one step away from a pure book tool.
Actually, what drove me writing that is a desire to _not_ hardwire a pm into jhalfs, but make it more generic. The paco patch shows that you have to do a lot of mangling of jhalfs internals to get it working. I would like this to be more plugin like. What I'm proposing is that there is a generic pm.xsl that is initially empty. I.e., in the default case, nothing happens. You can fill in the details yourself. Ideally, only this one file would need to be edited to add support for <your package manager>. Now I'm going to read Manuel's post to see if my XSL musings are crack. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
