I agree, somewhat.
Hard-coding path or tool names, simply assuming that certain flags of
tools exist and/or do the same thing on platforms other than your own,
using certain features of a platform without checking that these exist
on others as well (eg. /proc) can be EASILY avoided by sitting down
first and think about the impact of what you're doing and trying to
accomplish.
This isn't the first time that 'source code' was commited that was
clearly Linux'ism. Don't you think that this will tick people (NOT
using Linux) off if it happens again and again -- but could have
easily been avoided?
Please try to use better words in the future.
I apologize if I ticked you off.
I probably over-reacted, however this was the seventh or eighth
unnecessary Linux'ism I ran into in two days, though not all related
to GNUstep-core. That kind of makes you... jumpy (and not in a good
way).
