Because there are a lot of broken wheels out there, so you have to be carefully selective. Sometimes even if a particular wheel is fine today, later on the maintenance disappears, the licence changes, feature-creeping erodes reliability, etc. I don't think we reinvented (m)any wheels in Carob; C++98 (a "standard" wheel, which means a lot) provides most what we needed. Could you name a few? Hopefully the BSD sockets portability issue will be resolved with only a couple of macros (like those from MinGW for instance on windows), and we won't need an additional dependency. I'm also glad libmysequoia has very few dependencies (and that they explicitely listed here: <http://carob.continuent.org/LibMySequoia> ) _______________________________________________ Carob mailing list [email protected] https://forge.continuent.org/mailman/listinfo/carob
