I would like to think that working together with the community (ie, day-to-day code reviews) would lead to better communication of the other aspects of the project. >> Another question I have relates to BaseTools/Bin/Win32. >> Why is this not an extra download rather than part of the *source* >> tree? > > Well there is not a good scheme to pull what you want.... > For Visual Studio development folks generally use the frozen > Python and it is much easier to just pull the binary. I know the freeze thing is a pain, which is why I say make a separate binary release of the tools to plop down in BaseTools/Bin/Win32. Like today, but not directly in the source tree. It seems a bit patronizing to Windows developers to assume they need extra pampering. ...To assume that they can't be bothered to download and unzip a binary release of the BaseTools for their platform. -Jordan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
