I've looked at it and as a concept I don't have too many issues with it (although I'd like to hear from the ports) but I think there some outstanding issues that should be considered. One example: I think saving stdout and stderr to different files and then printing them separately is problematic; consider if your recipe prints lots of information lines, with errors (to stdout) interspersed. If you throw all the errors to the end you lose a lot of context. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
