I don't see how you would reach that conclusion - rpm spec files have basic if/then/else, and they certainly don't have the problem you mention. Cabal files in haskell have this construction as well. Both work very well. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
