Yes, it's the only way to get it tested. As long as the scons-based DOLFIN is in a separate repository, it will be ignored by everyone. So let's break things as quickly as possible so we can fix them. Johannes, tell us as soon as you have something that "works" (for you). Then everyone can take a quick look and if there are no objections we push it to the main repository and work from there. -- Anders _______________________________________________ DOLFIN-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.fenics.org/mailman/listinfo/dolfin-dev
