well .. it seems smart is different: "In this section will be described real cases showing `Smart` behavior in comparison with other tools, or handling unusual situations. Notice that Smart was not tunned to work in any of these cases, and the reason it works is because handling unusual situations was the initial project goal." from Case Studies section: http://svn.smartpm.python-hosting.com/trunk/README now .. i didn't test smart and i didn't test pdk, so i've probably misunderstood something, i was just thinking the smart algorithm for solving dependecies could be useful even for pdk (that i'll test as soon as i can). ciao -- ---- http://dsslive.org ----
