No offense, but the proper way to prevent people from wanting to use the Plib branch is to *fix* the OSG code. Whining about it is kinda bad form. People want to use the plib branch because it works better than the OSG branch, and they shouldn't be denied features just because it makes developers' jobs harder. This is a big, disruptive change, and I'm sympathetic to you, really. YASim and Nasal were big and disruptive too. But so far, OSG has produced literally zero benefit for anyone. People's experience has been anywhere between "it seems to work OK" to "everything is slow and ugly" to "I can't get it to build!". For myself: + I don't like the OSG build system at all. Getting the equivalent of --prefix requires 5 non-standard environment variables to be set, and it doesn't support building out-of-tree. + It's freakin' huge! Takes longer to compile than the rest of FlightGear put together. + C++ shared libraries (12 of them). Enough said. I tried the "make static" option, but it didn't install the libraries properly. And the biggest complaint: + No released version of OSG works with FlightGear, nor does their CVS head. Technically, we're porting onto a *fork* of OSG right now. We never did this with plib: if we needed features from CVS plib, we'd still have compatibility code in place that work work with their releases.
