EFL works great on FreeBSD (at least - I don't know about the other BSDs or Solaris or whatever), and I'm taking care of it keeping to work, so no worries there. I might be quiet about it but it currently builds and works fine and whenever there is a problem I fix it. Another thing is E though, which works rather poorly (mainly because of rather frequent segfaults, which is a problem on Linux as well, but on Linux it supports the restart-dialog and on other platforms it does not, and also because the Eeze wrapper is stupidly thin and can't be sensibly ported outside libudev, IMHO it was a stupid idea to introduce it like this in the first place) > > Also I think you do develop with Python, I have absolutely no idea > about python-efl portability and maybe kuuko could answer that. > > Have fun, > -- > Cedric BAIL > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Want excitement? > Manually upgrade your production database. > When you want reliability, choose Perforce. > Perforce version control.
