In the interest of joining the fun without making a mess, how do the following ideas sound? Split the "db" functions out from librt into a libbgio library? (gdb and Gnome got there first with the obvious names, unfortunately...) Making boolweave and related parts (if any) into their own libboolweave library? Can we eliminate ged API by consolidating commands? (finishing the edit command, make a "bot" command and stick all the subcommands under it, etc.?) I know it's not a high symbol count, but could we just fold the sysv library into libbu? That seems like a job that libbu should handle, to me... (Side note to self - must rewrite fbed and lgt to not use libcursor... or at least lgt.) Would the chull/obr routines be a logical thing to pull out of libbn? (libchull is tempting from a naming standpoint...) There are a few logical additions to that set of functions we don't have implemented yet... Same question for the random number/noise functions (regrettibly, libnoise is taken, although the cvs and file histories don't seem too active...), the bn_wlt_haar_1d_*_decompose functions and the bn_table functions. Are vlists (particularly the font related functions) suitable for libbn, or do they really belong in libdm or maybe in libbu? The string->vlist stuff sort of makes sense along side the vfont stuff... Just want to make sure I have the criteria for what should/shouldn't be attempted firmly in hand before doing anything crazy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ BRL-CAD Developer mailing list brlcad-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-devel
