Well, if a package you work on actually works with two level namespaces, you are free to use it. But many many mayn things do not work with two level namespaces and probably never will (unless somebody invests a lot of time into the specific application). For example if you have applications that have "plugins" as loadable modules. The modules need to access symbols from the application. If you compile it all with two level namespaces, this ain't work, at least AFAIK. If there is some neat, simple way to get this working, I'd be happy to know about it, though! Never to late to learn a new trick :-) Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
