If it is for weight and quantity then OpenSource _is_ Linux. So any portability has to come after suitability for the full range of Linux systems. Having said this, believe me that i know how to produce portable code and how to handle portability problems if they arise. I am able to maintain CAD sources which run on Domain/IX, SunOS, IRIX, Slowlaris, HP-UX and even (spit spit) MS-Windows. More than a dozen POSIX systems. Now i challenge you to tell me how i shall handle generic transport of SCSI commands in a portable way. Where are the common standards for this ? Why aren't drive addresse schemes the same on any two different POSIX resp. X/Open systems ? There is no alternative to system specific adapter modules. Joerg, you may pretend that libburnia is not designed portably. As long as nobody wants it on any other system i can hardly prove the contrary. So let's for now divide the world into two halfs: We try to serve Linux, you serve the rest. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
